Janae, 13 years old, AZ | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Janae is sweet and creative. She has experienced tremendous loss at a young age. She entered foster care after her mother became ill, and sadly, her mother passed away while Janae was in care. Her father had already passed away, leaving Janae to navigate significant changes and grief while adjusting to life in foster care. Recently diagnosed with autism and learning disabilities, Janae faces some additional challenges academically, but she doesn’t let those struggles take away her love for school. She enjoys learning and continues to work hard even when things are difficult. In her free time, Janae loves playing Roblox, watching anime, and expressing her creativity through drawing. Most of all, she values relationships and loves spending time with the people who are important to her. Janae is a caring young girl who enjoys feeling connected, included, and surrounded by those she loves.

Janae loves anime, especially Demon Slayer. She would be so excited to have a Demon Slayer backpack to carry her school supplies each day. Although learning can sometimes be challenging for Janae, she truly enjoys going to school and works hard to be successful. Having a backpack featuring one of her favorite anime series would allow her to show off her personality and make heading to school each day a little more fun!
