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 had a difficult 2024. She had multiple placement disruptions, difficulty at school, and spent several months homeless. She is hopeful that this year will be her year to shine. She is finally in stable housing and is working with her team to create a new plan to make positive changes in her life. She would love a new look to go with her positive outlook. She would love a gift card to JC Penney so she can visit the salon and get just the right cut and style!
