Violet – Age 13

Meet Violet, age 13, who is a fun kid who’s always dancing. She loves to dance and sing along to her favorite tunes. We asked Violet what wish she’d want a genie to grant, and she said, “I want a family who loves me.” Violet wants a family comprised of a mom and dad or a single mom.

Violet’s sweet nature is evident to all who meet her. She’s described as a “kind girl who loves animals and makes friends easily.” She also has an amazing sense of humor – Violet keeps everyone laughing! Violet’s hobbies include reading, swimming, writing, and singing.

Her winter host family says:

“Violet is a delight. She is full of smiles, playful, creative, and kind. She loves cooking, shopping with us, and has enjoyed all of our outings. She was excited to help decorate the house for the holidays, make ornaments for the tree, and she taught us how to make a Colombian dish! She wants to be a chef when she grows up. She’s sure of herself in a really nice way.”

More than anything, Violet wants a family with which she can experience life. She wants to enjoy her favorite meal (bean stew with pork belly) and talk about her day with a family who truly cares for her.

Violet also traveled to the U.S. in Summer 2023, and her host family said, “Violet is bright and warm; she loves helping others. We went on a trip to the beach, and she had a blast racing our daughter to and from the shore – she’s so fast!”
