Eliza, 8 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Eliza is a radiant little girl who fills the lives of those around her with joy. Though she is semi-verbal and on the autism spectrum, her enthusiasm for life is infectious. While she has her moments, her happiness shines through most of the time. Eliza delights in spinning in circles while listening to music, and she has a particular fondness for ribbons and balloons. On quieter days, you can find her enjoying her favorite movies on her iPad, fully immersed in the magic of each story.

Eliza enjoyed her sessions at gymnastics so much that she wishes to continue going. The program manager loved Eliza's enthusiasm and allowed her to attend extra sessions at no cost throughout the summer. Eliza wishes to do the fall classes, which the family cannot afford. Granting this wish for Eliza would mean the world to her! Gymnastics has also taught her discipline and patience and is great for bringing Eliza out of her shell!
