Allyson, 8 years old, OH |

Wish submitted by:

Allyson has faced a tough life. A few years ago, her mother had to give her up to Child Protective Services. After that, she lived with her father, but he couldn't take care of her, so she went to stay with her grandfather for a couple of years. Recently, she was put back in her mother's care. All these changes have made it hard for her to feel safe and have affected her behavior. She has ADHD, and sometimes she hurts others or eats things that aren’t food. The trauma she has gone through has left her with strong feelings of abandonment. Despite everything, Allyson loves to sing and is interested in gymnastics. This brave girl has been through so much and truly deserves a chance to thrive.

Allyson asked her mom for a tablet for Christmas, but due to financial issues, her mom cannot afford to buy gifts this year. Allyson was really hoping to receive one, and now her mom feels sad about not being able to make it happen. A tablet would allow Allyson to play games, explore new hobbies, create drawings, and watch videos.
