Samirah, 4 years old, CA

Samirah is a bright and loving child diagnosed with Autism and is non-verbal. Early in life, she entered foster care while her parents struggled with addiction, and after her mother regained custody, her father sadly passed away. Today, Samirah’s mother is a single parent who works tirelessly to manage her daughter’s behaviors and provide constant care. Despite these challenges, Samirah’s joy shines through—she adores playing with dolls and Barbies, and she shares a deep love for her mother and brother.
