A surprise birthday treat for Shelby
Shelby, 17 years old
Wish submitted by:
Tioga County Human Services ATTN: FostercareShelby is currently in an Independent Living arrangement after having lived in multiple foster homes throughout her life. Although she was nearly adopted once, forming connections and bonding with others has always been a challenge for her. Due to her past trauma, Shelby struggles with trust, which has been compounded by her separation from her biological brothers and limited contact with them. Despite these difficulties, Shelby has made significant progress over the past year. She has excelled in school, embraced her independent living program, and actively participates in group sessions to help her grow as a person. When she faces challenges, Shelby reaches out to her natural supports, showing remarkable strength and independence. Her journey reflects her resilience and determination to become a better version of herself.
There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Shelby with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
