Wish submitted by:

Adriana is a very talented, compassionate, wise, creative, loving, Christian teenage girl. She has also been singing since before she could speak words and singing to her brother since he was born. He still loves for her to sing to him! Adriana is an artist who loves to sketch, paint and draw. Adriana is starting her senior year in high school this week and will be the first to graduate in her family in 30 years. She is determined to break the cycle of teen moms and unwed mothers in her family. She fights every day to keep her grades up as she suffers from anxiety and depression. She also has a disability with numbers so math is a huge monster to her. You would never know it by looking at her grades though. She wants to go to an art school with graphic or fine arts as her major and theater as her minor. She is a fantastic songwriter composer and actor. Music is her life! She loves classical music and '50s and 60s love songs. She plays a ukulele and has written a few songs herself. She judges no one and accepts friends of all types. Her friends adore her and there are large group of them. She is a band geek who plays the trumpet and loves marching band as well. She volunteers taking care of the babies in the nursery at her church every Sunday and goes to her youth group every Wednesday. She's not your typical teenager. She has chosen to not get involved in relationships with boys because her education is more important and does not want to cloud her head with those things at this point in her life. Adriana is on her way to being on the worship team at church as well. She is a great role model to her 3 younger siblings even though only she and her brother are being raised by their grandparents.

Adriana would like to have a laptop to take to college with her. Her brother, who has Downs Syndrome and Autism, requires a lot of care so that prevents the grandmother from working. Her grandfather is disabled and has not been able to work in 4 months. Adriana knows they can't afford to purchase a laptop so she has recently taken on a weekend job so she can buy the things she will need for college. Having this gifted to her would be such a huge blessing. Adriana would be overjoyed if she were to receive a laptop to carry on to college.
