Latreese, 5 years old

Wish submitted by:

Latreese is a special girl with a big heart. She has worked hard to take care of her younger sister despite the chaos they experienced in their biological home. They were removed from their parents due to abuse, neglect, and domestic violence and were initially placed with their grandmother. However, after a few months, they had to leave that home as well because they were being exposed to unsafe individuals. Latreese is currently adjusting to her foster home but has become quiet and withdrawn. She is worried about her sister and concerned for her parents since she cannot see them at this time. Latreese loves to draw and is fond of animals. She is tentatively excited to try some new activities.

Latreese has been feeling quite quiet and sad as she adjusts to her new home. She notices her sister getting into a lot of trouble and expressing strong emotions, which makes her feel anxious. Latreese loves to draw and enjoys quiet activities that help keep her busy. She would appreciate having a drawing set, complete with paper and a variety of colors, so she can create beautiful works of art.
