Lavenda, 31 years old, IL |

Wish submitted by:

Lavenda is resilient, kind, and genuinely warm. She loves science, wants to become a teacher, and is known for her infectious smile. She has navigated foster care with real determination and has come out the other side as someone who lifts others up.

Lavenda loves creating moments of joy and connection for herself and those around her. As someone who values learning, creativity, and bringing people together, fun, science and interactive experiences are meaningful to her way of building community and relieving stress. A foam cannon and foam machine would allow Lavenda to host playful, memorable gatherings in a garden, backyard, or indoor space. These experiences offer laughter, movement, and shared enjoyment simple but powerful ways to create positive memories and moments of connection. Granting this wish would give Lavenda a creative outlet to celebrate joy, community, and togetherness while balancing the responsibilities and pressures she carries with her work with youth.
