Naomi, 14 years old, VA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/13

Wish submitted by:

Naomi has beaded bracelets for almost everyone she has ever met. Each time Naomi has been placed in a new home since entering foster care, she has made a bracelet to leave behind, a small piece of herself, so she would never be completely forgotten. She is a warm, curious, and chatty girl who can make a new friend in the lunch line and who always has an extra hair tie in her backpack for anyone who needs one. Naomi lives in a foster home, does her best at school, and is learning that it is okay to unpack all the way. She dreams of owning a little shop someday, where she sells handmade jewelry and gives a bracelet to every kid who walks in feeling alone.

Naomi is growing, changing, and always on the go, and her wardrobe has not always kept up. She needs new Under Armor athletic wear that fits her just right, such as leggings for gym class, a soft hoodie for chilly mornings, and shorts for weekend walks with her friends. For a girl who has often worn whatever was available, choosing her own clothes is a big deal. It would give her confidence at school, comfort through her busy days, and the joy of choosing something for herself.
