Maya, 14 years old, VA | 8 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/02

Wish submitted by:

Maya has spent several years in foster care, moving between placements as she and her caseworkers work to find her a stable, permanent home. Despite the instability, she has grown into a thoughtful and creative teen with a big heart. Her love for music, especially singing along to her favorite playlists, brings her joy, and she's recently taken up sketching, filling notebooks with her drawings during downtime. Fiercely loyal to her friends, Maya also has a great sense of humor that helps her through challenging days. She enjoys cooking, particularly baking sweets to share with those around her, and dreams of one day owning her own bakery. Resilient and hopeful, Maya deserves to be celebrated and supported as she works toward a brighter future.

Music is one of Maya's favorite escapes, allowing her to process emotions and enjoy being a normal teenager. A pair of Beats headphones would help her immerse herself in the songs that inspire her, whether she’s sketching, experimenting with recipes, or seeking quiet time. For a teen who has faced significant upheaval, having something solely hers offers stability and self-expression. Your thoughtful gift would provide Maya with daily joy and a reminder that someone cares for her.
