Annaliese, 17 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 06/05

Wish submitted by:

Annaliese has been in and out of foster care throughout her life, without a caregiver who was consistently able to meet her needs. Despite experiencing multiple placements and different foster homes, she has worked hard to catch up in school and maintain her GPA, ultimately earning acceptance into a university. She is now preparing to attend college and is very excited about her future, as she will be the first in her family to graduate and pursue higher education. Annaliese is motivated, positive, and excited for what lies ahead.

Annaliese is moving into a college dorm in a new city and is working to gather the essentials for independent living. She regularly takes medication that must remain refrigerated, and having a personal mini fridge would give her peace of mind knowing her medication is stored safely, consistently cold, and exactly where she placed it. In a shared dorm with multiple roommates, a mini fridge would also help prevent confusion or accidental mishandling of important medication. It would allow her to keep some of her own food and drinks separate, helping avoid conflicts over shared refrigerator space and making the transition to dorm life smoother and less stressful.
