Cindy is a friendly and outgoing 14 year old girl who was removed from her mother's home as a toddler due to neglect. Cindy has been bounced around through relative placements and in/out her grandmother's home but has re-entered foster care each time. She is now in a foster home and is doing well. She is a very creative and artistic young lady. When she and her CASA were on an outing she saw a woman taking scenic pictures with a large camera. She shared with the CASA that she has always dreamed of becoming a photographer and wants to be a part of the ASB/Yearbook staff but doesn't have a camera of her own.
Voices for Children - San Diego, CA requests this wish for Cindy.

Jill grants the wish for Cindy! Thanks Jill.
"Hi Cindy, We hope that you enjoy the camera, and are able to take photography classes and join the yearbook! Those are really great goals. My sister's name is Cindy too, and she is a film-maker. My daughter also always love photography, and it is still a hobby. Our son is a musician. So, lots of creativity around us, and we encourage you to pursue your art. We wish you all the best!!! Happy Holidays from the Burstein-Stern family xo"

"Hello Burstein-Stern family, When I opened the wish from all of you I started squealing I was so excited! You have no idea how long I have wanted a camera. I just registered for a photography class at an adult school campus and can't wait to get start. That is such a coincidence about you sister Cindy. I sure hope I can develop my art like her......WOW! Thank you, thank you , thank you! Cindy"
