Avery, 14 years old, ME

Wish submitted by:

Avery spent time in a residential facility. She is a girl who loves to read and engage in crafty projects. She can easily lose herself for hours in a book or while working on art. Always quick to encourage and assist others, she sometimes struggles with self-confidence and doesn't always see herself the way others do or believe she is good enough. At times, she can feel down and out of place, but a hug or a listening ear can help pull her out of her thoughts. Her heart is as big as her smile, and she is always ready to help a friend or a stranger in need. Having experienced loneliness and feelings of being left behind, she is determined to ensure that no one else feels that way. Although life has brought her many tears, she always manages to find a reason to smile!

Avery worked very hard this past spring and was finally able to get discharged from residential treatment. She is so excited to be back in her foster home and in her own room. She loves looking at different websites, especially Amazon, for ideas to make her bedroom comfy and cozy. She would love a gift card to Amazon to help her get creative and fill her space with all things that say "Avery"!
