Calissa, 18 years old, MO | 13 DAYS WAITING

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 has recently started a new fitness program to help stay healthy. She enjoys listening to music while she works out as it keeps her motivated. She has tried using earbuds to listen but they often fall out and frustrate her. A bluetooth speaker would be the perfect addition to Calissa's workout routine. This would help Calissa give her workouts 110% since she will no longer have to focus on if her earbuds will fall out.
