Wish submitted by:

Kenia has faced numerous challenges in her life and experienced foster care. She deeply cares about her family and roots, often expressing how much she misses her home country of El Salvador and the family she left behind. Kenia has a strong bond with her little sister, whom she helped raise, and she remains a steadfast support for her sister while navigating the foster care system. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, Kenia continues to set goals for her future and aspires to become a lawyer so she can advocate for children who have experienced similar circumstances. To cope with the various challenges she faces, Kenia enjoys playing softball and engaging in art activities.

Kenia is a huge fan of the Spider-Man series and loves spending quality time with her family. With her half-brother turning 14 this month, she wants to surprise him with a special family trip to the movies to see Spider-Man together with their mother and siblings. Because her half-brother lives farther away and they only get to visit once a month, this movie outing will make his birthday extra memorable and give the entire family a fantastic afternoon to bond, celebrate, and enjoy time together.
