Avery, 14 years old | NEEDED BY 06/01

Wish submitted by:

Avery spent time in a residential facility. She is a girl who loves to read and engage in crafty projects. She can easily lose herself for hours in a book or while working on art. Always quick to encourage and assist others, she sometimes struggles with self-confidence and doesn't always see herself the way others do or believe she is good enough. At times, she can feel down and out of place, but a hug or a listening ear can help pull her out of her thoughts. Her heart is as big as her smile, and she is always ready to help a friend or a stranger in need. Having experienced loneliness and feelings of being left behind, she is determined to ensure that no one else feels that way. Although life has brought her many tears, she always manages to find a reason to smile!

Avery is thrilled to be graduating from 8th grade. She is eagerly anticipating her commencement ceremony, graduation party, and, of course, her first prom. Avery has already purchased her dress and shoes; now all that's left is to accessorize, especially her hair. Since she has never had her hair done at a fancy salon before, she feels ready for that exciting experience. She would love to visit Ollo Hair Salon for a professional cut and color so she looks and feels her best for these important occasions!
