Cookie, 5 years old

Wish submitted by:

Cookie is a strong and determined young girl facing tough challenges rooted in her difficult past, including experiences of domestic violence. She may have ADHD and high-functioning autism and is currently receiving early intervention. These struggles heighten her feelings of shame, which impact her self-confidence. Despite these obstacles, Cookie’s inner strength shines through, especially in her passion for singing and her dreams of attending dance school. Her advanced abilities set her apart, showcasing her unique talents. Additionally, she finds joy and comfort in drawing and playing with her older sister, activities that provide her a sense of happiness amidst her struggles.

Last year, Cookie was heartbroken when the Baby Alive doll she wanted sold out before she could get it for Christmas. This year, she has found a new Baby Alive doll that comes with a real working toy blender. She dreams of making her doll a blueberry shake, feeding her, and enjoying imaginative play. This doll would bring Cookie immense joy and comfort, allowing her to nurture and create sweet moments during a challenging time.
