Judy, 8 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Judy lives with her grandparents, who became her foster parents after she entered kinship care. Their house feels warm and safe, filled with the smell of her grandma’s cooking and her grandpa’s old country music playing softly in the background. Even though life has changed a lot for Judy, she’s learning that family can look different but still feel like love. Her grandparents make sure she has what she needs and remind her every day that she is strong, brave, and deeply cared for. Judy loves being outdoors, especially playing soccer. She enjoys the thrill of running on the field, feeling the wind in her hair, and hearing her friends cheer her on when she scores. After school, she and her friends go to the park to play tag, climb on the jungle gym, or kick a soccer ball until sunset. In those moments, Judy feels happy and free, laughing with friends and appreciating the joy, support, and love from her family.

Judy has her heart set on getting a jellyfish diffuser for her room. She saw one online that glows softly in different colors, making the jellyfish look like they’re floating in the ocean. She thinks it would be the perfect night light—something peaceful to watch before bed when she’s winding down from a busy day. Sometimes it’s hard for Judy to relax at night, but she imagines the gentle movement and calming light helping her feel safe and cozy as she falls asleep. To her, the jellyfish diffuser isn’t just a decoration—it’s something magical that can bring a little extra calm and comfort into her space.
