Kendra, 17 years old, ME

Wish submitted by:

Kendra is a wonderful young lady who loves to cheer, sing, and express her creativity. She enjoys playing games on her iPad, especially Minecraft and Roblox, and has a special love for animals. Kendra is interested in trying horseback riding and has recently begun exploring the idea of joining Girl Scouts, where she hopes to learn new skills like archery. Kendra has faced significant challenges, including periods of homelessness and living in shelters. Despite these hardships, she has remained resilient and continues to look forward to new opportunities and experiences. She is currently living in transitional housing with on-site staff who help provide a safe and supportive environment as she continues working toward a stable future.

Kendra has been going through a very rough patch the last few months. She spent a lot of time on the streets, living in a tent with other homeless youth, in a local park, and in abandoned houses. During that time, she lost almost all of her belongings. She is in desperate need of some new clothes. The teen center has given her some essentials, but not everything. She would love a shopping spree at TJ Maxx so she can replenish some of what she lost. This wish has been split into two parts to help Kendra get a few outfits. This is wish 1 of 2.
