Wish submitted by:

Kari is in foster care and is energetic, social, and full of personality. She is very witty, talkative, and enjoys being at the center of attention, often thriving in group settings. Kari has a strong interest in cheerleading and enjoys activities that allow her to express herself, including doing her hair and makeup. In her free time, she likes listening to music on her MP3 player and riding her bike, which provides her with both enjoyment and a sense of independence. Academically, Kari has some challenges in math; however, she is actively receiving support from a tutor to help strengthen her skills. She works so hard to do her best. She benefits from encouragement and positive reinforcement in her learning environment. Kari’s placement in a licensed kinship home provides her with stability and connection to familiar supports, which is important for her continued growth.

Kari wants a big snack box for her birthday. She loves her favorite snacks for movie nights and binge-watching shows, and this would make her feel special. While she’s in foster care, the snack box can provide comfort and remind her of happy times at home. Having familiar snacks can make new places feel safer and help her relax. Overall, this birthday wish would bring Kari joy and help her feel connected and cared for.
