Lyleth is wise for her age, shaped by the challenges she has faced in life. She's funny, outgoing, and has a vibrant personality. After entering foster care as a teenager, she moved into Extended Foster Care when she turned 18. Her only support is her boyfriend, who has been a consistent presence in her life. Lyleth once experienced homelessness for six months, a tough time that tested her strength. Now, she finally has a stable home she can call her own, and she's grateful for the chance to create a space that feels like her. In her free time, she loves to express herself by drawing, painting, and making jewelry—activities that bring her happiness and peace.

Lyleth feels a deep sense of gratitude for having a stable home to return to each day. However, she faces a significant challenge in her new space: the lack of windows limits natural airflow. As a result, the air can often feel stuffy and stagnant, which impacts her comfort and overall well-being. To improve the air quality in her home and alleviate the “stale” or “closed-in” feeling, Lyleth is requesting an air purifier. She believes this addition could greatly enhance her living conditions by increasing circulation and creating a more refreshing environment.
