ANACONDA — There’s a teenager in Anaconda named Kali that brings joy and life into every room she enters - and she is looking for a forever family.
"I am very talkative, very talkative," Kali said.
"Kali really needs the support of a family, she does have her grandma and she gets to have contact with her siblings, but she doesn't really have a mother-father figure that is there to support her in her life," said AWARE, Inc. Lead Clinical Program Supervisor Jessie Allick.
"To be like, have them understand and talk to me when I am upset," Kali said when asked about what she would like out of someone.
"There is some younger and uh higher needs kids in her group home and Kali can be very kind in helping them and trying to make their day a little better. It’s fun to work with Kali," Allick explained.
I believe Kali would do best in a family where the focus could be primarily on her. She said she wanted somebody that would talk with her, she really needs someone that listens as she is going through it and just giving her a chance to vent. You know to stand by her and be with her through all of her emotional stuff and everything, she really needs that and deserves it, she’s a good kid," Allick concluded.
