Isabella, 17 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 09/25

Wish submitted by:

Isabella (Bella) enjoys art, drawing, crafting, nature, sciences and horseback riding. Isabella enjoys drawing anime characters and animals. Her favorite animal is a fox. Bella makes her own costumes and masks, often out of cardboard, using a hot glue gun and whatever scrap materials she can find. She loves shopping at Joann Fabrics and Michaels. In addition, she likes to paint and decorate dinosaur masks and fox masks. She has made several very creative ones. Bella plans to attend technical high school and study commercial art and design in tenth-twelfth grades.

Isabella is very artistic and has taken a real interest in altering and redesigning her own clothes, cutting, shaping, and hand-sewing pieces into something entirely new. A sewing machine would take that skill to the next level, letting her sew faster, cleaner, and with more precision than hand-stitching alone allows. It would also open up new creative possibilities, from redesigning everyday clothing to building full costumes from scratch, giving Isabella more freedom to experiment and bring her ideas to life. Beyond the craft itself, learning to use a sewing machine is a real, practical skill she could carry with her for years, one that builds patience, problem-solving, and hands-on technical ability. This would make a meaningful birthday present for Isabella, supporting both her creativity and a skill she could keep building on long after her birthday.
