Avery, 20 years old, CO | NEEDED BY 10/15

Wish submitted by:

Avery is an amazing young woman who has aged out of foster care and is known for her sweet and gentle disposition. She is a hard worker and has found meaningful employment in a role she truly enjoys, working with both animals and plants. Avery loves being outdoors, is an avid swimmer, and is always eager to help and support others around her. Avery (formerly known as Athena and in the process of updating her name) has graduated from high school and is focused on building a stable, healthy, and fulfilling life. She is described as helpful, kind, and safe, with a strong desire to continue growing in independence. Her current goals include being successful in her host home, building and maintaining healthy friendships, and developing a consistent daily routine. She is also working toward improving her sleep habits by reducing phone use at night and going to bed on time consistently for at least two weeks.

Athena's birthday is approaching, and getting her some new video games would bring her a lot of joy. She loves to play games and finds it to be one of the best ways for her to unwind after a long week of school. Granting this wish for her would mean a lot. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 1 of 2.
