Everly, 10 years old

Wish submitted by:

Everly is a sweet older sister who tried hard to meet the needs of her younger siblings when her mom wasn't able to. She has a lot of guilt and frustration for being separated from her mom but is working through some of these hard feelings with a lot of support from others. She enjoys doing crafts and being with her siblings.

Everly recently learned that her biological mother passed away due to an overdose, which has brought up many difficult memories for her. Although she wasn’t living with her mother at the time, she always hoped they could reunite someday. Everly is currently working on building a bond with her caregiver, who hopes to be able to keep her long-term. They are planning a special day of shopping, lunch, and movies to create lasting memories together. Everly is excited about the opportunity to choose some new spring and summer clothes.
