Kaylah, 12 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Kaylah entered foster care with her two brothers after they tragically lost their parents in a car accident. She’s a sweet and caring girl who loves her family very much. Kaylah often talks about her brothers and dreams of the day they can all be together again. To cope with her feelings, she enjoys drawing, reading, and writing stories, which help her keep her parents' and siblings’ memories alive. Kaylah also loves riding her bike and playing outside, where she feels free and happy. What makes her special is her ability to stay hopeful and loving, even after going through so much sadness. She has a gentle nature and often shows kindness to others around her. While she adjusts to her new life, she holds on tight to the love she has for her family. Her story is one of bravery, love, and the hope of reuniting with the people she cares about the most.

Kaylah grew up in a caring and loving home, but now she’s facing a tough time being separated from her siblings. Her social worker is trying to find a way to bring them back together, but until then, Kaylah feels lonely and sad. She really misses her brothers, and being apart after losing their parents has been heartbreaking. Kaylah is hoping to get an iPad so she can stay connected with them while they’re in separate foster homes. Being able to video call, send messages, and share little moments would mean the world to her and help her feel closer to them during this hard time. Having an iPad would not only help her keep in touch with her siblings but also let her engage in fun activities like drawing, reading, and playing educational games. For Kaylah, an iPad would be much more than just a device; it would be a vital connection to the people she loves and who help her feel safe and supported.
