Leeyah, 12 years old, NJ | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Leeyah returned home from foster care, and she is anxious to start over with her family. She enjoys listening to music, exploring cosmetology, and learning how to socialize with her peers. Leeyah loves being on TikTok and other social platforms to have fun. As she embarks on this new journey in a different environment and home, she is learning to adjust to the sudden changes in her life.

Leeyah recently transitioned to a new school, and having snacks and drinks she genuinely likes to bring along would help her feel more settled and focused as she adjusts. She loves having her own food to look forward to after school and throughout the day- the kind of small, familiar comfort that makes a difference during a transition. This would also really help her mom, who is working hard to provide for Leeyah and her siblings all at once. Having a few of Leeyah's favorite snacks and drinks on hand would ease that load, while giving Leeyah something simple that's entirely her own to enjoy.
