Selena, 9 years old, VA | 13 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Selena runs a homemade friendship bracelet business, selling her creations to anyone at school willing to trade a snack or a dollar for one. She's a resourceful, chatty kid with a knack for crafts, spending hours weaving bracelets, beading necklaces, and coming up with new designs to sell. Selena has moved through two foster placements over the past year and a half, and while the changes have been hard, she's held onto her entrepreneurial spirit and enjoys making friends wherever she lands. She does well in math, particularly enjoying the "business" side of her bracelet-making, and she loves anything glittery or colorful.

Selena's creative, entrepreneurial spirit could really use a dedicated space to call her own, and a vanity would give her exactly that: a spot to organize her beads and craft supplies, get ready in the morning, and feel a bit more grown-up and put-together. For a girl who's had to adjust to multiple foster placements, having a special space that's consistently hers, no matter where she is, offers a comforting sense of ownership and routine. It also suits her creative personality, giving her a proper spot to showcase her bracelet-making supplies and admire her work.
