Malajah, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Malajah is 16 years old and lives in NY. She has been placed in four different foster homes over the past three years. Currently, Malajah is residing in a foster home without any of her siblings, which is proving to be a very challenging situation for her. Malajah is only a year apart from her older and younger sisters, and the three of them have always been extremely close. Malajah deeply misses her siblings, and due to many of her family members having moved to other states, she is unable to see them as often as she would like. Despite all of the traumatic circumstances Malajah has faced in her life, she remains very focused on doing well in school and pursuing her hobbies: basketball, fashion, and music. Malajah has not been able to see her mom or sisters in over a year, despite vocalizing her wish to visit them. Malajah surrounds herself with friends, but deeply misses her family.

Malajah would love this coat for the upcoming cold winter months. Malajah had a coat just like this a few years ago but has outgrown it. She really loved her old coat and dreams of a replacement to keep her toasty through the NYC winter. It's starting to get cold in NYC, and all Malajah has for now is a jean jacket, so she's hoping to get this coat soon!
