Wish submitted by:

MaryAna is a sweet and gentle little girl who may be a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her bright personality shines through—and she has plenty to say! She loves singing, dancing, playing with her siblings, and pretending to cook right alongside her mom. One of her favorite things to watch is Cocomelon, and she enjoys singing along to all the songs. This fall, MaryAna is excited to begin kindergarten, where she is looking forward to making new friends, learning new things, and creating special memories. Although MaryAna has experienced many changes in her young life, she continues to approach each day with resilience, curiosity, and a joyful spirit. With the love and support of those around her, she is ready to embrace this new chapter and all the opportunities that come with it.

Maryanna has been really excited about the idea of going to Build-a-Bear and creating her very own stuffed bear. She's been wanting a special item that can go with her everywhere and provide some comfort when she needs it. It will be such a fun and happy experience for her to choose and build her own bear, and she'll have a new friend to keep her company on all her adventures.
