Ebonie, 12 years old, NC | NEEDED BY 10/02

Wish submitted by:

Ebonie is a bright and imaginative girl with a huge passion for art. She spends much of her free time drawing, painting, and even creating her own animations, which she loves sharing on YouTube. She enjoys subjects like art and reading, especially when they allow her to explore new ideas or tell stories. Ebonie is incredibly thoughtful and caring. She is currently in kinship care and is living apart from her siblings, so she has been working hard on handmade Christmas gifts to send to them — painting canvases, drawing characters, and creating little crafts that show how much she misses them. She dreams of becoming an animator or professional artist one day and practices every chance she gets.

Ebonie's birthday is coming up, and her one request is simple but meaningful: art supplies. Between schoolwork and everything else she's balancing, art gives Ebonie a genuine creative outlet- something enriching and enjoyable she can turn to in her free time, just for the fun of it. Currently placed with relatives, Ebonie is truly flourishing, and having something she's excited about for her birthday- a hobby that's entirely her own- would be a wonderful way to celebrate both her creativity and how well she's doing.
