Avery, 20 years old, CO | NEEDED BY 08/01

Wish submitted by:

Avery is an amazing young woman who has aged out of foster care and is known for her sweet and gentle disposition. She is a hard worker and has found meaningful employment in a role she truly enjoys, working with both animals and plants. Avery loves being outdoors, is an avid swimmer, and is always eager to help and support others around her. Avery (formerly known as Athena and in the process of updating her name) has graduated from high school and is focused on building a stable, healthy, and fulfilling life. She is described as helpful, kind, and safe, with a strong desire to continue growing in independence. Her current goals include being successful in her host home, building and maintaining healthy friendships, and developing a consistent daily routine. She is also working toward improving her sleep habits by reducing phone use at night and going to bed on time consistently for at least two weeks.

Athena is preparing for surgery to have her tonsils removed, a step she’s taking to improve her sleep and overall health. During her recovery, she will be on a restricted diet of soft foods and worries about inconveniencing her host home by needing special meals. A DoorDash gift card would ease this burden, providing her with the comfort and independence to order the food she needs without added stress, allowing her to focus on healing and resting comfortably.
