Avery, 20 years old, CO

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.

For Athena, the wish to own a reborn doll holds profound significance. Year after year, she has envisioned the moment when she could finally cradle one in her hands, and the thought of it fills her with anticipation and excitement. This dream is more than just a possession; it represents warmth, comfort, and a deep sense of belonging that she yearns for. Owning a reborn doll would not only add a unique piece to her collection, but it would also interweave joy and fulfillment into the fabric of her everyday life. She envisions countless cherished moments shared with her doll, making it a truly special addition to her world.
