Isla, 17 years old, NC

Wish submitted by:

Isla has been in and out of foster care her whole life, her parents were both deported when she was a baby. She has no extended family, and now resides with a foster family who is able to allow Isla to stay with them after she turns 18 so she can finish high school next year. She is loving her new high school, and has said that this school is her best experience at school so far. Isabella is excited to turn 18 in October and is looking forward to senior activities at school such as graduation photos, cap & gown ordering, senior night, and planning for spring prom. She wants to go to college next year and would like to study psychology!

Isla has grown tall and has gained some weight. She is now very conscious of how she looks and suffers from low self-esteem. Because of her current placement, she does not have the opportunity to go shopping locally, so she would like a gift card so she can look online and find some new tops and shorts that she would feel comfortable in this summer.
