Aaliyah, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Aaliyah has always had a very big personality and loves to make people laugh. She enjoys drinking coffee and taking naps. Aaliyah owns a pet gecko and loves to carry him around the foster home. One of Aaliyah's biggest strengths is how loyal she is to those she cares about. She has been in and out of foster care for almost two years and is hoping to find permanency with her current foster placement.

Aaliyah has been eagerly discussing her upcoming adoption with her foster parents for months. She often talks about how excited she is for the day she finally has a permanent family and a place to call home. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Aaliyah has expressed her desire to have a dinner with her adopted family and some friends. However, she will need some assistance covering the meal with so many people expected to join. Aaliyah wants this celebration to be special. One of her favorite restaurants is Applebee's, and she hasn’t had the chance to eat there since being placed in her foster home. This dinner represents not just a meal but a significant milestone in her journey toward a loving, permanent family. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for an amazing experience! This is wish 1 of 2.
