Calissa, 18 years old, MO | NEEDED BY 07/31

Wish submitted by:

Calissa is a bright and kind young woman currently living with her grandparents through foster care. She had hoped to establish guardianship with them, but due to delays in the court process, she will likely turn 18 before this can be completed, which may also extend her time in foster care. She enjoys living with her grandparents, but she is often hesitant to ask for things because she worries about being a burden, even though that is not the case. Calissa is a sweet and caring person who tends to be shy and slow to open up to others. She recently got a job at Grant’s Farm and is working hard to save her money and build her independence.

Calissa works in an outdoor setting where the temperatures can become extremely hot, and staying hydrated throughout her shift is important. She is currently using disposable water bottles, but they do not keep her drinks cold for long. A quality insulated water bottle would help Calissa keep her drink refreshing and cool throughout the day, allowing her to stay comfortable and focused while working. Having a water bottle would make a meaningful difference in her everyday routine.
