Zoey, 16 years old, NE | NEEDED BY 03/13

Wish submitted by:

Zoey is a wonderful girl who enjoys listening to music. She loves spending time with her friends and is dedicated to her work. Her goal is to save enough money to buy a car so she can gain more independence and work additional hours while her foster parents are at their jobs. Over the past years, since she entered the foster care system, Zoey has made significant improvements in her grades.

Zoey is deserving of a mattress because safe, consistent rest is essential to her well-being and development. Currently, Zoey sleeps on a couch in her room due to ongoing issues with a cat in her foster home spraying. As a result, she does not have access to a clean, supportive sleeping surface. While the couch provides a temporary solution, it does not offer the comfort, stability, or physical support of a proper mattress. Providing Zoey with a mattress would restore a safe and hygienic place for her to sleep, promote her physical and emotional health, and help create a sense of normalcy and dignity. This simple but meaningful gift would allow her to feel cared for, valued, and supported during an important stage of her life. Zoey loves the cats, but once she gets a new mattress, she has stated she will no longer allow them into her room.
