Cassondra, 11 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Cassondra is a creative, bright, and outgoing young person who brings energy and warmth wherever she goes. Navigating her journey in foster care with strength and optimism, she stays connected to what she loves most—riding horses, exploring the outdoors, and expressing her artistic talents. Smart, friendly, and naturally engaging, Cassondra excels in school and easily builds meaningful friendships. What makes her story especially sweet is finding permanent stability with her beloved grandmother, where she continues to thrive surrounded by love, security, and endless support.

Cassondra is a wonderful student. However, when her classroom gets too loud or there is repetitive noise, she gets very distracted and her work suffers. Her school has granted her permission to wear noise cancelling headphones whenever she is feeling overwhelmed. Supplying Cassondra with these will provide her with a sense of comfort as she does her work in class and give her a way to focus clearly without external distractions.
