Bear, 8 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Olivia lives with her mother and two brothers. Over the past few years, her family has faced significant challenges, including periods of homelessness. Despite these hardships, Olivia’s mother worked hard to create stability for her children and recently secured housing for the family. Their family first moved into a one-bedroom apartment, which was an important step forward. Now they have been approved for a three-bedroom home, and Olivia is especially excited about having her own bedroom and space for her own toys for the very first time. Olivia continues to approach life with excitement and joy. She is especially thrilled about the opportunity to take dance classes and explore something she truly loves.

Olivia has been struggling with anxiety. Her parents were told that stuffed animals can help with regulating her emotions. Granting this wish would allow Olivia to create and personalize her own bear that she can use as a comfort item. This experience would mean a lot to Olivia.
