Audrey, 15 years old, MO | 43 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Audrey is a quiet, kind, and loving teen with a gentle heart who absolutely adores animals, especially cats and horses. She is also really into gaming and enjoys having time to relax and explore the things she loves. Audrey has come a long way and has shown incredible growth and resilience. She was diagnosed with epileptiform discharges, and with the loving support of her foster mom, she is learning to navigate this new part of her life. Audrey continues to take things one day at a time as she builds confidence and discovers what makes her happy. She is a sweet young woman with a caring heart who deserves the opportunity to continue growing and enjoying the things she loves.

Gaming means a lot to Audrey, especially now. After recently being diagnosed with epileptiform discharges, having something familiar to turn to and escape into matters more than ever, but her old gaming laptop has completely fallen apart. It's the way she steps out of her own head and into a world of fantasy and adventure where things feel a little lighter. Gaming brings her genuine joy, helps her relax, and gives her a place where she can simply be herself, without the pressure of anything else going on around her. A working laptop would also give Audrey a way to stay connected with online gaming friends, offering a sense of community during a time that can otherwise feel isolating. And beyond gaming itself, it's a tool she could use for basic tasks like schoolwork, making it support more than just her downtime. Having a laptop that actually works would mean getting that outlet, and that sense of normalcy, back.
