Lilyana, 2 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Lilyana is a remarkable individual who embodies a variety of qualities that are difficult to articulate. Despite being petite, she exudes a powerful presence. She's like a cute little boss, showing potential to become a future CEO. She's assertive and makes sure her voice is heard. Lilyana enjoys outdoor activities, adores the pets in her home, and delights in activities such as sliding, climbing, playing dress-up, and being read to. Like many children who have been removed from their homes, she faces challenges, but she also represents hope in a world full of uncertainties. Despite having faced more than her fair share of hardships at a young age, she has coped remarkably well, and her caregivers are dedicated to ensuring that she experiences only joy.

Lilyana has been making great progress in her gross motor development recently. She is taking risks but still needs the safety of soft spaces. She lives in a home with two children under four years old. They have pillow and stuffed animal fights, and they build couch forts for fun and safety. Lilyana's caretakers believe that these activities are great for her creativity, safety, and gross motor development. Playing with this fun little play couch is something she can enjoy all year long with her cousins, helping them bond, laugh, and grow together.
