Lilly, 19 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Lilly can be a bit shy. She is currently living in a shelter and is very concerned about her ongoing living environment. She is typically outgoing and enjoys being with her friends. She can be easy to talk with when she is comfortable with that person. She is caring and silly at times, has a bubbly personality, is a good friend, and is a great person to be around overall. She loves dogs and would like to have one in the near future. She continues to have an optimistic outlook on her future despite the challenges that she continues to face, especially with her unstable housing. She likes pizza, shaved ice, fruits, some vegetables, and pasta.

Lilly would like to have a durable luggage set to pack her things inside when she is transitioning to her next living arrangement, which she is looking forward to in the adult portion of the shelter where she is currently located in the adolescent portion. Lilly will continue to explore other living arrangements outside of the shelter. The hope is that it will be permanent housing. Lilly has experienced a lot of instability regarding housing, especially within the last month. She is concerned about keeping all her valuable items safe and together as these items are personal and remind her of her family. Lilly doesn’t have to deal with the embarrassment of packing and transporting her valuables in garbage bags because she cannot personally afford to purchase a luggage set at this time.
