Mara, 17 years old, VA | 2 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Mara is a creative, independent young woman passionate about alternative fashion, horror movies, and special effects makeup. Having been in foster care since childhood, she has learned to express herself through her unique style and artistic interests. Although others may sometimes misunderstand her appearance, Mara has a kind heart, a sharp sense of humor, and a deep loyalty to the people she cares about. She enjoys practicing special effects makeup on herself and her friends and dreams of becoming a film makeup artist who brings imaginative characters and monsters to life on the big screen. As she stays on track in school and builds a future for herself, Mara hopes to turn her creativity into a career where she can share her artistic vision with the world.

Mara’s world has a soundtrack: dark, moody playlists that rise and fall like a storm rolling in, the kind of music that makes her feel understood when words fall short. A JBL Flip speaker would let her fill her room with that sound, whether she’s practicing her special effects makeup, sketching new looks, or unwinding after a long day at school. It’s small enough to travel with her wherever she goes, which matters to a girl who's moved more times than she can count and knows the things that truly belong to her must be easy to carry. She could take it to the park with friends or play her favorite film scores while she works on her next creation.
