Sarah, 14 years old, VA | 7 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/09

Wish submitted by:

Sarah maintains a running list on her phone of books she wants to read, which is already longer than she'll manage this year. A bookish and introspective teen, she's drawn to fantasy and mystery novels and spends her free time lost in stories, even beginning to write her own short stories. After moving through several foster homes, she's learned to be reserved with new people, though her loyalty runs deep once she opens up. Excelling in school, particularly in English and history, Sarah is part of her school's book club—one of the few constants in her life. Despite carrying significant uncertainty for her age, she channels it into her writing and passion for stories, deserving a stable home and genuine connections.

An Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet would be a perfect gift for Serenity, giving her easy access to e-books and audiobooks while providing a space to draft her own stories. It would also assist her with schoolwork and keep her connected to her book club, one of the few steady parts of her life amidst frequent moves. For a thoughtful teen who finds identity in reading and writing, this tablet would support her creativity and love for storytelling.
