A Build-a-Bear fun for Emberleigh who misses mom

Posted Mar 13, 2024
Emberleigh and her sisters have had a difficult time being separated from their mom and dad while in foster care. They currently visit together for two hours every week, but the days in between are hard to get through, and Emberleigh longs to be able to hug her mom and hear her voice more often. Emberleigh is requesting a gift card to Build-a-Bear so she can go to the store on a visit with her mom, record her voice, and keep it in her new stuffed animal. She'll be able to hear her mom say, "I love you," and give her stuffed animal a big squeeze whenever she misses her.

Emberleigh is 4 years old and lives in GA

Emberleigh is the fourth of five sisters. She currently lives in a foster home with her siblings. She loves snuggling with her sisters before bedtime, dressing up in her fanciest clothes, and riding her tricycle outside. Emberleigh is quite petite, but her personality is larger than life. She is a good self-advocate, a patient sister, and highly imaginative.
