Mary, 15 years old

Wish submitted by:

Mary is a bright, resilient young lady who is thriving academically despite the challenges she has faced. She was removed from her parents' care due to issues related to alcohol misuse and domestic violence that created an unsafe home environment. Mary is excelling in school, earning straight A's, and actively participating in multiple school projects. She has been offered a scholarship to attend an academically rigorous private Catholic school, where she continues to shine academically and socially. Mary enjoys creative activities and has a love for learning, demonstrating both determination and a positive outlook for her future.

Mary would love a white vanity desk with a mirror because it would give her a dedicated space to focus on self-care and personal expression. Having a special area to get ready each day will not only help her feel more organized but also boost her confidence, encouraging her to start her mornings feeling prepared and put together. This vanity will provide a sense of stability and comfort, creating a positive environment where she can feel valued and supported. When her CASA asked her what she wanted for the holidays, she listed a few items, but ultimately said that this vanity desk was the one thing she wanted most!
