Lily, 10 years old, AZ

Wish submitted by:

Lily is a truly beautiful and inquisitive little girl who has recently found her forever home after being adopted from foster care. After a challenging time in kinship care where her needs went unmet, she was placed in a loving licensed foster home. Since then, Lily has made incredible strides in expressing her feelings and learning to navigate the trauma she has faced. Even on days that feel heavy, she radiates warmth and positivity, reminding everyone of her bright spirit. Though Lily has been welcomed into her adoptive family, the shadows of her past still linger. She continues to face hurdles linked to the difficult experiences she endured before her journey to foster care. However, surrounded by the unwavering love and nurturing environment of her new family, she is receiving the support and understanding she needs to flourish. With every step forward, Lily's resilience shines through, and her story is one of hope and enduring love.

Lily asked for a few items before she left her foster home to live with her aunt in another state. These adorable black pants with cargo pockets were one of the items she didn't receive at her going-away party. She loves how she can store belongings in her pockets and how loose-fitting they will be on her.
