String lights for Lily to hang under her loft bed

Lily, 10 years old, AZ

Wish submitted by:

Grace Retreat Foster Care and Adoption Services

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.

String lights hung under Lily's loft bed will make her space warm and cozy, giving her a happy little retreat where she can relax and feel safe. She can't wait to get these hung up in her room!

"Hi Lily. Remember what the band said in the video message to you? “Rev it up, Lily”. “Keep rockin’, girl”. “Keep shining”. “Go get ‘em.” “When you practice hard, it will pay off.” “Lots of love!” The last part is important - lots of love. Enjoy the new lights & white noise machine. For a few nights before going to bed, play the video the band sent you. Why? Along with your foster Mom & Dad, the band wants to remind you of something very important – you are loved! Sweet dreams. Rock on! “V” & “T"
