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.

As fall settles in, Jelena would love to open the windows in her new apartment and let in some fresh air, but without screens, that's not really an option right now. Proper window screens would let her enjoy the cooler weather safely, without worrying about bugs or debris, giving her one more small way to feel truly settled in her first apartment.
