We should all cherish what Sevonia says are the most important things to her. “I like to make every moment matter,” she says, “and I like to make people laugh.” Spending time with family also ranks high on Sevonia’s favorite things list. She likes watching movies with family after school and enjoys just hanging out together on weekends. Sevonia is an active girl who likes swimming, bowling, riding bikes and horses and playing soccer, volleyball and basketball. She also enjoys quieter times by coloring, painting and making crafts, and she likes playing board games, especially Candyland. “She loves animals including dogs, cats, horses, ferrets and pretty much any animal she runs into!” says one of Sevonia’s close adults. Her favorite holidays include Easter and Christmas, and Sevonia likes celebrating them by making videos, laughing, talking and spending time with family.

When she gets older, Sevonia wants to be a social worker who helps children. She dreams of traveling to Florida and California to do some exploring. Since making every moment matter is important to Sevonia, she hopes a forever family will savor time together talking, playing and taking pictures to preserve their memories. And she hopes they enjoy some of her favorite activities such as bowling, swimming, doing crafts and going out to eat.

Sevonia is described as a bubbly, outgoing and very energetic young lady. Adds an adult close to her, “Sevonia likes to stick up for others and enjoys helping other people. She is open and a good communicator.” She does well in school and enjoys reading the most.

A single female parent with a strong support network would make a great fit for Sevonia. She would do best as the youngest child in her new forever family, and she would love to have sisters. Her new parent or parents should be experienced, trauma informed and able to make sure she gets the services that will benefit her now and into the future. A forever family must be willing to let Sevonia maintain her sibling relationships if she desires. Finally, Sevonia wants a family who has pets and says dogs and horses are her favorites.
