Ella, 8 years old, OR | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Since coming into foster care, Ella has always worked hard to pitch in, do the right thing, and be a helper to those around her. Despite everything she's been through, she's a strong, creative, and resilient girl, and honestly, just a lot of fun to be around. Her favorite colors are aqua and pink, and her personality is just as bright.

Ella's school requires students to bring a water bottle, and she found the perfect one! She picked this one because she loves the color, and she's learned from experience that a sturdy lid actually matters when you're a kid hauling a backpack around all day. Nobody wants a leaky bottle ruining their lunch. It also happens to match the backpack she's been dreaming of, so if that wish comes together too, she'll end up with a little set that just feels like hers. It's a small thing, but for Ella, having stuff she actually picked out and likes makes school feel a little more fun.
