Sarah, 6 years old, NJ | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Sarah has been in foster care for several years, moving between several homes and facing many hard goodbyes. Her last foster parent told her she was just going to spend the night at a friend’s house, but she never came back. Since then, Sara has felt deeply abandoned and hasn’t seen her mom in two years. Despite all the heartbreak, Sarah is doing her best to find peace and happiness. She’s beginning to feel a little better through school, where she’s finding comfort, routine, and hope for brighter days ahead.

She would be thrilled to add the Inside Out Joy Tonies figurine to her collection. Joy's uplifting stories and messages about emotions can help her learn to name and understand her feelings in a fun and age-appropriate way. This gift would provide her with comforting, positive stories to listen to, promoting both emotional growth and creative play.
