Wish submitted by:

Katherine is a sweet, funny, and creative girl whose smile truly lights up a room, as her parents describe it. She has a passion for gymnastics, music, and arts and crafts, and she stands out as an amazing artist for her age. Katherine excels at free-hand drawing, which provides her with a powerful outlet to express her feelings in the moment. This artistic expression becomes especially important on difficult days, helping her cope during times of high anxiety. Through her creativity, Katherine finds joy and solace, making her a remarkable individual. Separation of Katherine's parents has been a very difficult experience for her, resulting in feelings of depression and anxiety. She has been getting professional support to help her cope with the loss of her father in the household and is making progress.

Katherine is requesting a science kit to provide a healthy outlet for her curiosity and to encourage exploration beyond technology. She enjoys reading about science and now wants to conduct experiments using a STEM kit alongside her mother. This activity will help her strengthen her bond with her mother instead of isolating herself with technology.
