Danielle, 10 years old

Wish submitted by:

Danielle loves her family. She has a baby sister and a single mom, both of whom she adores. Danielle enjoys helping her mom with cooking, and she also likes reading the labels on the back of the groceries. Because Danielle has autism, this activity really helps her relax and calm down..

Danielle is in foster care and moved to a different placement before returning to a previous caregiver. During her time away, she became attached to a rescue kitty. This cat quickly bonded with her, and she took care of it by feeding it and giving it attention every day. The cat would sleep with her, providing joy and companionship during her lonely nights. It encouraged her through difficult days and nights, offering unconditional love that helped alleviate her anxiety and tears. Danielle brought her cat with her to her new placement, but she wishes for a nice litter box to meet her cat's needs. As she learns responsibility, her favorite friend provides her with empathy and compassion, which is exactly what she needs.
