Jade, 13 years old, CA | 7 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/09

Wish submitted by:

Jade is a creative, artistic young girl who enjoys freehand drawing, anime, playing the guitar, and fashion. Jade is doing well in school and enjoys attending her new school. She has experienced multiple changes in placement and challenges in foster care but continues to show resilience and is working toward stability. Jade is currently in a foster home where she reports feeling safe and loved.

For her birthday, Jade would love her own guitar. Creativity runs through everything Jade does, from freehand drawing to anime to her own personal sense of fashion, and a guitar is another piece of that- one she taught herself entirely on her own, no lessons, just determination and a genuine love for music. Jade has navigated multiple placement changes and real challenges in foster care, yet she continues to show remarkable resilience, doing well in her new school and finally finding safety and stability in her current home. A guitar would give her something consistent to hold onto- an outlet she can keep building on and returning to, no matter what else shifts around her, in a life where she's finally starting to feel settled.
