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 moved multiple times this past year and has lost most of her clothing. While taking stock of her wardrobe, she realized she needs a new winter coat. As a teen who needs to try things on before she buys anything, she would love a JC Penney gift card so she can pick out just the right jacket to get her through the winter!
