Melissa, 19 years old, PA | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Melissa spent several months in the foster care system before being adopted. Although she was grateful for her new family, she faced many challenges with her adoptive parents. After overcoming numerous hardships, Melissa is now studying art therapy at Arcadia and is embracing her newfound freedom. She is a talented young woman who enjoys drawing, painting, and photography. Melissa also finds comfort in her collection of plushies, which play an important role in her life.

Melissa is preparing to welcome a new emotional support dog, and a custom harness and leash set would help her start off ready. The harness has her dog's name on it, which personalizes the gear and helps people she meets on walks and outings understand that her companion is there to support her. Bringing home a new pet comes with a lot of expenses, so having the essentials taken care of would make the transition a little easier. It would help Melissa feel prepared for the walks and everyday outings she and her dog will share.
