Aiyannah, 12 years old

Wish submitted by:

Aiyannah is a delightful little girl who loves all things girly! She enjoys doing her nails and always wants them to look just right. Aiyannah also loves helping her caregiver in the kitchen, whether it's cooking or baking. She spends as much time as she can playing outside. Some of her favorite things at the moment are the movie "Encanto" and watermelon! Aiyannah works hard in her therapy to improve her communication skills and self-awareness. She is an incredible little girl who deserves to enjoy childhood without the worries that often come with difficult situations.

Aiyannah is a blossoming little girl; she is learning all new skills along with self-management and communication. She's also learning the importance of physical self-care and self-awareness. She hasn't had many opportunities to swim, but when she can, she absolutely loves it. Swimming is self-care for Aiyannah; it's a way to sort of put out all that is going on around her and focus on the way the water makes her feel. She also has a lot of fun splashing around with her sister and foster siblings. Aiyannah finds water to be both fun and like therapy. By helping her to get a pool, which she has been asking for, she will find more reasons to come out of her shell and just be like a normal kid after overcoming a lot.
