Adyson, 14 years old, TX | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 03/27

Wish submitted by:

Adyson is in kinship foster care following removal from her biological mother due to neglectful supervision related to substance use. She is kind, respectful, and overall a well-behaved youth who presents with typical adolescent behaviors. She is often described as a “sweet girl,” and she has demonstrated significant emotional and behavioral growth since her initial placement. Adyson enjoys spending time with her friends, engaging in art projects, listening to music, and watching television. She also has a strong interest in animals and enjoys participating in family outings as well as school-related activities. Adyson values connection and stability and has developed positive relationships within her current kinship placement, particularly with her siblings, with whom she shares a close bond.

Adyson is requesting a fresh summer wardrobe for her birthday, including items such as shorts, shirts, a swimsuit, pajamas, and shoes. She enjoys expressing herself through her personal style and takes pride in how she presents herself. Providing Adyson with clothing that reflects her preferences and individuality supports her self-esteem and sense of identity. As a youth in foster care, opportunities like this are especially meaningful, as they help promote a sense of normalcy, belonging, and confidence. Having clothing she feels comfortable and confident in allows Adyson to better engage with peers, participate in activities, and continue building her independence and self-expression in a positive and developmentally appropriate way.
