Yzabella, 16 years old, AZ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Yzabella is a bright, motivated young woman who has overcome significant obstacles in her life. These challenges have resulted in her involvement with the Arizona Department of Child Safety and participation in the Young Adult Program. Despite the difficulties she has experienced, she remains focused on building a positive future for herself. One of her primary goals is to complete high school and pursue a career as a cosmetologist. She is actively working with her coach to develop her resume, strengthen her interview skills, and prepare for future employment opportunities through the supportive services available to her. She also wants the opportunity to experience the typical things many teenagers and young adults enjoy, while continuing to grow and become more independent. She enjoys planning, setting goals, and working toward the future she envisions for herself. Her willingness to plan ahead, set personal goals, and take steps toward achieving them demonstrates her determination, resilience, and desire to succeed.

Yzabella has a strong desire to attend cosmetology school and pursue her goal of becoming a professional makeup artist. Having a mannequin specifically designed for makeup practice would provide her with a safe and supportive way to build her confidence, practice different techniques, and improve her skills at her own pace. This hands-on practice would allow her to experiment with different makeup styles, develop greater precision, and become more comfortable with the application process before working with clients. Providing her with a mannequin would be a meaningful investment in her personal and professional development and would help her take another positive step toward achieving her career goals.
