Kate, 18 years old, MO | 10 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kate is a transgender youth who struggles with self-acceptance and socialization skills. However, once she gets to know someone or is in a one-on-one situation, she can talk your ear off! She enjoys cats, creating music, and connecting with people who share similar interests, but she does not like to spend too much time in public places. Everyone who has worked closely with her agrees that Kate has grown into a responsible and independent young adult who strives to do her best in any situation she encounters.

Kate is settling into her new apartment through a supportive housing program. She wants to make the space her own, and a brightly colored rug for her bedroom would help achieve that! However, since she doesn't have a job yet, she can't afford to buy anything that the program hasn't already covered. Having experienced a great deal of neglect in her life, Kate hopes she can feel comfortable and at home in her new surroundings.
