Lilly, 15 years old, VA | 11 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Lilly has faced significant challenges throughout her childhood, including abuse, neglect, and instability. She recently moved into her aunt’s home, offering her an opportunity for greater safety and stability after years of uncertainty. Despite these hardships, Lilly remains dedicated to her education, completing school online while working toward her dream of becoming a nurse. She is also caring and protective of her brother, always showing compassion for others. With the support of her aunt, Lilly is working toward a fresh start and the happy, secure future she deserves.

When Lilly first tried pottery, she discovered how calming and therapeutic working with clay could be. Although she can no longer return to the pottery shop, having a pottery wheel at home would let her keep exploring this creative outlet, manage difficult emotions, and find comfort and peace when she needs it most.
