Shelby, 17 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 07/11

Wish submitted by:

Shelby 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.

Shelby recently moved and needs summer clothes that fit her. She would be so happy to go shopping and pick out some great new outfits so she feels comfortable! This wish was split up so that Shelby can get what she needs. This is wish 2 of 2.
