A projector for Addie to share movies when entertaining her friends
Addie, 19 years old
Wish submitted by:
Voices for Children - San DiegoAddie is a bright, beautiful, and wonderful young lady. She was born in Ethiopia, where the majority of her family resides. After being sent to live at her uncle's home in the U.S., Addie was the victim of abuse by her uncle's wife and was sent to live with a family friend. Addie entered foster care in 2019 when the family friend said she was no longer able to care for her. The CASA says Addie is dedicated and focused in pursuit of her goals. While she is playful and a joy to be around, she is also a hard worker and a strong self-advocate.
Addie recently celebrated both her high school graduation and eighteenth birthday. Addie recently qualified for her very own apartment and will participate in extended foster care in order to pursue her dreams of higher education and a job she loves. Addie would love to make her new residence into a real home and project movies for when her friends come to visit. She has worked incredibly hard this year in pursuit of her goals, and a reward is well-deserved!
