BIRTHDAY WISH

A birthday party for Marissa who wants her very own birthday party

Posted Feb 9, 2018
Marissa struggles with low self esteem. She used to be bullied as a child and used to be involved in alcohol and drugs. She will be aging out of care soon but her past still seems to confront her putting her back in a bad place. She shuts everyone out but really just wants to feel like she is a part of a family. Marissa has never had a birthday party where she is the guest of honor. This party would help to lift her self esteem and also be the best day of er life!!!!

Marissa is 24 years old and lives in TX

Marissa is a high school junior who is very sweet and loves doing hair and makeup. She loves to sing and listen to music and has fun helping younger kids. She was in care a total of six years and aged out with no where to go. Marissa has two younger brothers. She wants to get her Cosmetology License one day She’s a very caring and nurturing person and she loves hard.
