Wish submitted by:

For Nia, being a mother is the most important role in her life. Having been emancipated from the foster care system, she made the beautiful decision to adopt her daughter, Amaya, with the dream of giving her the best possible life. Nia is a dedicated stay-at-home mom who has chosen to prioritize her daughter's well-being above all else. When her daughter was diagnosed as being on the spectrum, Nia made the selfless decision to pause her career and focus on creating a supportive and nurturing environment for her child. Her days are filled with love, learning, and connection as she invests in her daughter’s development and happiness. Nia finds joy in reading books, exploring new recipes in the kitchen, and spending quality time at places like We Rock The Spectrum, where her daughter thrives in an inclusive and engaging environment. Nia’s unwavering commitment to her daughter is a testament to her strength and dedication as a parent. She embraces every challenge with grace, turning them into opportunities to grow and support her daughter’s unique journey.

For Nia's daughter, sensory toys mean the world to her growth and happiness. As a child with autism, these toys provide her with the tools to manage her emotions, improve her fine motor skills, and safely explore her surroundings. Nia, having grown up in foster care herself, is dedicated to giving her daughter the best life possible. However, the cost of specialized sensory toys can be quite high. Both Nia and her daughter would greatly appreciate the support with this important wish.
