Royalty, 8 years old

Wish submitted by:

Royalty is a sweet girl. She was taken away from her mother and placed into foster care when she was three years old. She had a really hard time in foster care, and really missed her mom while she was living away from her. She is very bright and does well in school. She is a very rambunctious (her Mom affectionately says spirited) little girl. She loves spending time with her little sister and the color purple.

After four long years in foster care, Royalty was finally permitted to return to the care of her mother. She was so thrilled to return home as she had very difficult separation anxiety being apart from her mother. Since her return home, the family has been trying to move forward as a unit, which has been challenging given the amount of time they were separated. Ever since Royalty was little, she's loved airplanes and helicopters. She ALWAYS stops to point them out when flying over NYC while visiting with her mom. She would always tell her mom her greatest wish is to (her words) "see the ocean and the whole world from the sky." In celebration of Royalty's reunification with her mom, she would love to see the ocean and the world with a helicopter ride over NYC. This wish will cover Royalty's mom's ticket. She's too young to go alone, and it would mean so much to her to share this experience with her mom. This experience will help heal the wounds of their long separation and create lasting memories for them to cherish together.
