Gloria, 15 years old, NJ | 23 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Gloria is a mature, resilient but parentified teenager. She is very guarded and doesn't trust easily, but once she does, she is your best friend. Gloria loves diamond art, drawing, journaling, and listening to music. She is currently being supported by DCFS.

Gloria is doing well in her residential facility and hopes to find a resource family to welcome her once she's discharged. In the meantime, she has very few items of her own and no one to turn to when she runs low on the basics. She recently asked her caseworker for some hair essentials, like an edging brush, colorful hair clips, and hair gel, small things that would let her keep up with her hair the way she likes it. An Amazon shopping trip would let Gloria pick exactly what she needs, giving her a bit of independence and self-care amid so much uncertainty.
