Jorden, 21 years old, CA | 26 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jorden is a strong and independent young lady who prefers to figure things out on her own before reaching out to her team of service workers for help. She's determined to push herself as much as she can toward becoming a fully independent adult, remembering all the support she received while in foster care. Jorden hopes to give back one day by becoming a therapist, having found that therapy was one of the services that helped her heal during her hardest days. She's thoughtful, responsible, and always careful about what she asks for.

As Jorden starts a new era in her life, she'd like to celebrate her 21st birthday with a new bedframe for her apartment. She's always been reasonable and never requests anything she doesn't truly need, looking for the most economical and useful option whenever she can. A bedframe feels like Jorden's version of splurging on herself, giving her a place to unwind with a book after a long day of college. It's a small investment in the independent life she's worked so hard to build.
