Avery, 20 years old, CO

Wish submitted by:

Avery is an amazing young woman who has aged out of foster care and is known for her sweet and gentle disposition. She is a hard worker and has found meaningful employment in a role she truly enjoys, working with both animals and plants. Avery loves being outdoors, is an avid swimmer, and is always eager to help and support others around her. Avery (formerly known as Athena and in the process of updating her name) has graduated from high school and is focused on building a stable, healthy, and fulfilling life. She is described as helpful, kind, and safe, with a strong desire to continue growing in independence. Her current goals include being successful in her host home, building and maintaining healthy friendships, and developing a consistent daily routine. She is also working toward improving her sleep habits by reducing phone use at night and going to bed on time consistently for at least two weeks.

Avery has recently discovered a love for learning about ghost lore and has taken up ghost hunting as a hobby with her friends. What started as a curiosity has quickly become a meaningful way for her to connect with others, explore new interests, and create fun, memorable experiences. These evenings of adventure and exploration have brought her great joy and given her something positive to look forward to. Avery is hoping to receive a 3-piece ghost-hunting equipment set to enhance this new hobby. Having her own equipment would allow her to further engage in an activity that encourages friendship, curiosity, and exploration. Supporting this interest gives Avery an opportunity to continue building positive social connections while pursuing a hobby that genuinely excites and inspires her.
