Rachel, 11 years old, MO | 26 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Rachel is a sweet, outgoing girl who lights up every room with her bright smile and joyful personality. A true girly girl, she loves having fun and spending time with the people she cares about. Rachel is currently in foster care with two of her older sisters, while her oldest sister lives in another home, a separation that has been especially difficult for her. Despite the challenges she has faced, Rachel remains cheerful and compassionate. She has a big heart for animals and dreams of becoming a veterinarian one day, saying she wants to “play with puppies all day!” Her joyful spirit, love for animals, and big dreams make Rachel truly special.

Rachel wishes for a Royal Caribbean gift card to help make her first family vacation possible and give her the chance to reunite with her older sister, who lives in another foster home. After experiencing many changes and separation throughout her foster care journey, this cruise would give the sisters precious time to reconnect, have fun, and create happy memories together. It would also be Rachel’s first opportunity to travel outside of Missouri, making the trip an exciting new adventure filled with experiences she has never had before.
