Jelena, 21 years old, NY | 39 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jelena is an amazing young woman who has aged out of foster care. She moved into her first apartment and is getting settled. She is a caretaker who works part-time as a home health aide. She is grateful for the support she has received in making this transition to independent living.

Jelena is working hard to turn her very first apartment into a place that truly feels like home, taking pride in every detail as she builds a space that's entirely her own. Curtains would add that extra warm, finished touch, the kind of small detail that makes a room feel complete and comfortable rather than just furnished. It is one more step toward making this apartment feel like a genuine reflection of who she is.
