Naomi, 5 years old, AL

Wish submitted by:

Naomi is the oldest of two sisters who went to live with their grandparents recently. She has been exposed to extreme domestic violence, abuse and neglect and lacks basic play and living skills. She loves to snuggle with her grandma, but hesitant to allow others near her. Her grandparents are encouraging independent play through modeling and therapeutic techniques, but Naomi is having trouble getting over her fears. She has just started play therapy and will hopefully learn to trust and enjoy life again.

Naomi's favorite thing to do right now is pretend to cook. She is always bringing odd toys to her family to taste what she has cooked up. She would be so excited to have this set of pink pots and pans to really have something to "cook" in! It comes with a set of cooking utensils as well. She could really create some yummy dishes!
