Avery, 14 years old | NEEDED BY 12/03

Wish submitted by:

Avery spent time in a residential facility. She is a girl who loves to read and engage in crafty projects. She can easily lose herself for hours in a book or while working on art. Always quick to encourage and assist others, she sometimes struggles with self-confidence and doesn't always see herself the way others do or believe she is good enough. At times, she can feel down and out of place, but a hug or a listening ear can help pull her out of her thoughts. Her heart is as big as her smile, and she is always ready to help a friend or a stranger in need. Having experienced loneliness and feelings of being left behind, she is determined to ensure that no one else feels that way. Although life has brought her many tears, she always manages to find a reason to smile!

Avery has been navigating a challenging few months, and during this time, she has made the brave decision to enter residential treatment to address some of her deeper traumas. As part of her healing journey, she’s eager to embrace a fresh new look that reflects her renewed perspective and the promise of another year ahead. To help her on this transformative path, she dreams of receiving a gift card from Sephora. With it, she hopes to pick out all the beauty essentials that will not only enhance her appearance but also boost her confidence and make her feel radiant inside and out. This thoughtful gesture for her birthday would symbolize her journey toward self-love and rejuvenation.
