Wish submitted by:
Grace Retreat Foster Care and Adoption ServicesLily 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.
Lily's old tablet has malfunctioned and no longer works. She misses playing her games and reading her e-books on it. Lily asked if she could get a new tablet in either blue or green. This would help her stay calm during times of distress or when she feels overwhelmed. She often seeks comfort in her bedroom, under her loft bed, where she plays her guitar or uses her tablet. Lily hopes to get a new tablet soon!

"Hi Lily. Or should we say “L”. So, will it be a green tablet since that is one of your favorite colors? Or will it be the blue one? Whatever color, enjoy using your new tablet & getting to read your e-books again. We were so happy to learn that you are playing your guitar. Let it continue to be a way of bringing out the music that’s inside you. Whatever kind of day – cloudy or sunny – the music will always be with you. And so will your family. Rock on rockstar! “V” & “T""

"From Lily's foster mom: Lily has spent many hours on her tablet, especially when she's having a tough day. I am so grateful to have so many supporters in Lily's corner while she navigates this new journey of readapting to her foster home and coming to terms with us being her adoptive placement"
