Emily, 17 years old, MO | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Emily is in foster care for the second time. She is incredibly resilient and keeps a positive attitude. She is sweet, helpful, and active in sports with volleyball being a favorite. She has been through a lot and still leads with kindness.

Emily is an avid reader who loves diving into all kinds of genres, though suspense will always be her favorite. Because she's moved between homes so often, keeping a physical book collection intact hasn't always been realistic, and she's had to leave books behind more than once because there wasn't room or stability to hold onto them. A tablet would solve that. It would let Emily build and carry an entire library with her, no matter where she ends up, without worrying about storing, protecting, or losing her books again. For someone who finds real comfort and escape in reading, having that stability would mean a great deal.
