Kate, 18 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Kate is a transgender youth navigating her journey towards self-acceptance and socialization. While she often finds large groups overwhelming, she really shines in one-on-one situations, where her vibrant personality comes alive. She has a passion for music and a love for cats, cherishing connections with those who share her interests. Despite her aversion to spending too much time in public, everyone who has worked closely with her agrees that she has matured into a responsible and independent young adult. Since aging out of foster care, Kate continues to strive for her best in every situation she encounters.

Kate will be living in a converted garage that lacks heating and air conditioning options, and it has minimal insulation. Given the winter conditions in southeast Missouri during this time of year, this heater will help keep Kate warm and comfortable during the upcoming winter storms. Knowing that she will be warm enough will help everyone feel better about her new living situation.
