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.

Winters in Maine are cold, wet, and long. Kendra needs winter boots to make sure her feet stay warm and dry on her walk to school. She is in between sizes, so she needs to try things on before she buys them. She would love a gift card to JCPenney so she can pick out just the right pair to keep her feet toasty all winter.
