Madelyn, 8 years old, AZ | NEEDED BY 06/06

Wish submitted by:

Madelyn believes she is a queen, and she often competes with her older sister to determine who holds the title of queen and who is the princess. Despite her confident demeanor, Madelyn faces challenges due to her autism and PTSD, which can lead to moments of distress that she struggles to articulate. Having experienced abuse before entering care, she has been on a difficult journey of healing and self-discovery. Through it all, Madelyn holds onto hope; she dreams of finding her forever home alongside her sister soon, where they can support each other and build a brighter future together.

Madelyn occasionally needs a quiet moment away from her family and outside noises because, due to her autism, she is sensitive to loud sounds. Having her own headphones will allow her to relax and regain her calm without being concerned about what is happening in the world around her.
