Charliese Allen Aurelia

Age 17

16-18 year olds

There are some rare people who you meet that just make you think, ‘What did I do to have someone like you in my life?’ My sister Aurelia is one of them. She is a funny, caring, empowering and daring person. Every day I am reminded more of why I love her, with everything she overcomes with her powerful, positive energy.
