Kate, 18 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Kate is a transgender youth navigating her journey towards self-acceptance and socialization. While she often finds large groups overwhelming, she really shines in one-on-one situations, where her vibrant personality comes alive. She has a passion for music and a love for cats, cherishing connections with those who share her interests. Despite her aversion to spending too much time in public, everyone who has worked closely with her agrees that she has matured into a responsible and independent young adult. Since aging out of foster care, Kate continues to strive for her best in every situation she encounters.

Kate has moved into a new apartment and is trying to get settled. However, she didn’t realize that some cans require a can opener, and after discovering that not all of them have pull-tabs, she is asking for a can opener so she can prepare her meals.
