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 finally landed at the local teen center after being on the streets for a few months. There, she feels valued and listened to by not only the other kids but also the staff. They provide some basic communal hygiene supplies, but Kendra would like to have her own that she can keep in her room. She would love to go and pick out the items she needs to look and smell her best!
