Ally, 17 years old, OH | 13 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ally has had a long road; she was adopted as a baby, but her mental health struggles have escalated to the point that she needed to take some time away from her adoptive home. Ally is incredibly intelligent and loves participating in school theater, volunteering at the library, and writing poetry. Her team is dedicated to helping her develop the coping skills she needs to step into the world as an independent adult.

Ally has been eager for an age-appropriate art kit for a while. With her evenings spent alone in the foster home and her busy foster parents often tied up, she sometimes feels lonely and bored. This isolation has led to some emotional struggles recently. Art has always been a way for Ally to escape and express herself, and having a dedicated kit would really brighten her evenings. It would give her the chance to create, have fun, and make her time feel more fulfilling.
