Piper, 11 years old

Wish submitted by:

Piper is a shy yet talented girl who has faced significant challenges in her life. Since 2018, her single mother has been battling cancer, which has impacted their family dynamic. The COVID-19 pandemic made remote learning tough for Piper, leading to feelings of isolation and difficulties in keeping up with her studies. Recently diagnosed with a learning disability, she grapples with shame and faces bullying from peers, affecting her self-esteem and discouraging her smile. Despite these obstacles, Piper is creative and passionate about art, making beautiful bracelets and launching a successful collection for breast cancer awareness. While she desires supportive friendships, past hurt makes her wary of trusting others. She enjoys video games, music, and YouTube, which offer her moments of joy amidst her challenges.

Piper is a young lady who works hard to strengthen her focus and listening skills. She has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) due to her learning delays. Unfortunately, she has been bullied several times, which often leads her to isolate herself when she feels embarrassed. Piper's goal is to improve her learning skills, and she believes that the perfect gift for her would be a Simon game that she's been wanting for some time. This thoughtful gift would not only bring her joy but also serve as a source of comfort and motivation—something she can keep with her every day.
