Avery, 20 years old, CO

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.

Avery is focused on creating healthy habits and managing her emotions positively. Music plays a big role in helping her stay motivated and balanced. Having a rechargeable JBL speaker would let her enjoy music anywhere, encouraging her to move, be active, and feel happy. This wish would help her stick to her self-care routine and personal growth by starting her day with motivation and keeping her mindset positive as she builds better habits for her well-being.
