Kayley, 17 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kayley is currently placed with her maternal grandmother, who has been her safe and stable support system since she was young. She resides with her two older brothers, who have aged out of foster care, as well as her sister, who remains in foster care with her. Being surrounded by her family has provided Kayley with the love, security, and consistency she needs to thrive. Kayley hopes that her family will be granted Kinship Legal Guardianship (KLG), allowing them to move forward with stability and permanency while maintaining the important family connections that mean so much to her. She also hopes to continue visiting with her mother and preserving that relationship. As Kayley prepares to begin college this fall, she is excited about the opportunities ahead and looks forward to continuing her journey with the support of her family by her side.

Kayley is preparing to begin her freshman year of college and could greatly benefit from some dorm room essentials to help make the transition a little easier. While she is excited to start this next chapter of her life, she is also feeling nervous about all the changes that come with moving away and living on campus for the first time. A Target gift card would allow Kayley to purchase many of the personal care items she will need for college, including shampoo, conditioner, razors, face wash, soap, a loofah, and a new shower towel. Having the flexibility to choose the items that best meet her needs would help her feel more prepared and confident as she settles into dorm life and begins this exciting new journey.
