Stephanie, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Stephanie is new to foster care. She is an immigrant from a Central American Country where things were dangerous and difficult for her. She came to America and still faced some of the abuses. When she found out she was pregnant, she was placed in Foster Care, where help is being sought for her in her and her baby's care. She tends to be very scared, doesn't understand much English and is striving to stay healthy but she is also trying to get used to the food that she has available to her. She now has her baby, born in the last month or so. She is learning the basics of parenting and caring for an infant.

Stephanie has never been exposed to a hair dryer. When she came here, she saw others with them, and tried one once. She said she would really like one, and is asking for one.
