Eden, 15 years old, VA | 3 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/06

Wish submitted by:

Eden writes letters to God in a notebook with a worn cover. She writes about her day, her worries, and the small things she’s thankful for, and she ends every entry the same way: “Thank you for being here.” Eden entered foster care and has lived in several homes, each one a fresh start she didn’t choose. Through every change, her faith has been the one thing that stayed steady. It gave her a quiet place to bring her fears, and a sense that she was never completely alone, even in a room full of strangers. Eden is gentle, thoughtful, and a little shy, and she is still learning to feel comfortable in her own skin. She worries about how she looks, about fitting in, and about whether she is enough. She dreams of becoming a youth counselor or children’s ministry leader, someone who helps other kids know they’re loved.

Taking care of herself hasn’t always been easy for Eden, and having the basics can make a big difference in how she feels. An EOS essentials bundle would give her soft, nourishing products that smell lovely and feel good, from lip balm to lotion and more. It’s a small but meaningful way to build a self-care routine and feel a little more confident as she navigates her teenage years. For a girl who is still learning how much she’s worth, caring for herself is a powerful step.
