Hope, 4 years old

Wish submitted by:

Hope is a sweet young lady who recently came into foster care for the second time in her young life. She was recently diagnosed with autism. Hope is nonverbal and unable to vocalize her needs, though responds well to comfort items. Hope recently entered her first daycare program! She is thriving with the services and supports in this environment and in her new foster home. She likes animals, playing outside, sensory toys, and paw patrol.

Hope recently had a major surgery on her mouth and has struggled with discomfort since. She recently re-entered foster care, with very few comfort items of her own. She is nonverbal and recently diagnosed with Autism. Her foster parents have noticed her preference for soft, large stuffed animals that she can rock with, which soothes her. Hope deserves comfort items to call her own and may find warmth in having her own comfort ball to embrace when ever she needs it.
