Avery, 20 years old, CO |

Wish submitted by:

Avery is an amazing young woman who has aged out of foster care and is known for her sweet and gentle disposition. She is a hard worker and has found meaningful employment in a role she truly enjoys, working with both animals and plants. Avery loves being outdoors, is an avid swimmer, and is always eager to help and support others around her. Avery (formerly known as Athena and in the process of updating her name) has graduated from high school and is focused on building a stable, healthy, and fulfilling life. She is described as helpful, kind, and safe, with a strong desire to continue growing in independence. Her current goals include being successful in her host home, building and maintaining healthy friendships, and developing a consistent daily routine. She is also working toward improving her sleep habits by reducing phone use at night and going to bed on time consistently for at least two weeks.

Athena has been in a group home for a long time and she is always having to share things with others. She would love to get to buy her own personal items and keep them for herself so she can feel special. Athena struggles with having to being a group home and is hopeful she will get to move into a foster home or be adopted so she can have her own space and own personal items.
