Avery, 15 years old, ME | 11 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Avery spent time in a residential facility. She is a girl who loves to read and engage in crafty projects. She can easily lose herself for hours in a book or while working on art. Always quick to encourage and assist others, she sometimes struggles with self-confidence and doesn't always see herself the way others do or believe she is good enough. At times, she can feel down and out of place, but a hug or a listening ear can help pull her out of her thoughts. Her heart is as big as her smile, and she is always ready to help a friend or a stranger in need. Having experienced loneliness and feelings of being left behind, she is determined to ensure that no one else feels that way. Although life has brought her many tears, she always manages to find a reason to smile!

Avery is sad that summer vacation is coming to an end, but she is excited to start school and see her classmates and teachers. She wants to look and feel her best on her first day. She would love a trip to Target to grab some new lotions, cleansers, and makeup so she starts her school year off feeling great!
