Adrianna, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Adrianna has experienced multiple placements in foster homes and group homes during her four years in care. After being absent for five months, she was eventually placed with her godmother. Adrianna shares a strong bond with her godmother and enjoys activities such as doing her hair, playing basketball, and contemplating her future. She aspires to become a phlebotomist before continuing her education to become a nurse. Adrianna values her independence and often helps around the house to develop her life skills.

Adrianna is enrolled in a specialized credit recovery program designed to help her catch up to her appropriate grade level. Since her school is situated outside of her district, she heavily relies on public transportation for her daily commute. Each day, she navigates the bustling streets, waiting for buses and trains to take her to classes. To ensure she stays warm during these chilly journeys, especially during the brisk mornings and evenings, Adrianna needs a warm, cozy coat that will protect her from the elements as she makes her way to and from school.
