Amelia is a lively and joyful little girl full of creativity. She loves dancing, gymnastics, and making art, spending hours in her favorite activities. With a big heart, she brightens every room she walks into. Amelia is learning to balance her affection with social boundaries as she grows. Diagnosed with an intellectual disability and being assessed for autism, she views these labels as just part of what makes her unique. As a foster child, placed in her pre-adoptive home, Amelia's story adds to her strength and resilience. She continues to shine in the world, spreading joy through her dance, hugs, and artwork.

Amelia is full of energy! She loves to move, jump, and explore. Whether she’s leaping around the living room or getting lost in her imagination, movement helps her express herself and connect with the world. A trampoline would be perfect for her. It’s not just a toy; it would give her a safe place to bounce and have fun. With her love for gymnastics and dance, a trampoline allows her to move joyfully and stay active. It also offers a great sensory experience that meets her needs as a child with an intellectual disability and suspected autism. Amelia does best with clear boundaries and safe spaces to be creative and active. A trampoline provides a special spot where she can jump freely without interruption. It encourages her to be active, improves her coordination, and lets her energy shine. For Amelia, a trampoline is more than just fun; it’s a tool that can help her grow, build confidence, and enjoy the world in her unique way.
