Adrionna M, 13 years old, KS

Wish submitted by:

Adrionna is a remarkably gentle and resilient young girl who, despite never having been formally in the foster system, has experienced a childhood of constant movement—passed from one family friend to another. This life of displacement has given her a quiet strength: she adapts, remains kind, and continues to give her best, even when circumstances are unstable. Adrionna’s soft-spoken nature doesn’t mean she goes unnoticed; it reflects a thoughtfulness and sensitivity to others that makes people naturally drawn to her. Adrionna enjoys hobbies that allow her to express her creativity and curiosity. She may love reading, drawing, or exploring nature—activities that let her find calm and joy even when life feels uncertain. She is also likely drawn to quiet, focused activities that let her reflect, learn, and grow at her own pace.

A heated blanket would have a very positive impact on Adrionna, especially since she has expressed to her teachers that the place she is staying feels cold. Having a personal source of warmth would help her feel physically comfortable and safe, giving her a reliable way to stay warm during chilly nights or early mornings. For a child who moves between homes and often lacks stability, something as simple as a heated blanket can provide a small but powerful sense of security and consistency—something that truly belongs to her.
