Alizia, 4 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Alizia entered foster care due to repeated incidents of domestic violence between her parents and issues related to substance abuse. This resulted in her and her younger sister experiencing neglect and not receiving proper medical care. Alizia loves princesses, singing, dancing, and the color pink. More than anything, she enjoys imaginative play and often hosts pretend meals and parties for her dolls and toys. Most recently, she organized a pretend "Friendsgiving" for her stuffed animals, serving toy pizza as the main course!

Alizia is such an imaginative child, and loves to host make-believe events for her sister and toys with elaborate planning and detail. Alizia enjoys cooking and can often be found dragging chairs into the kitchen of her foster home to stand on to see what her foster mother is making for meals, with requests to stir food, crack eggs, and hear what ingredients go into various recipes. Alizia's holiday wish is for a toy kitchen, so she can use her wonderful imagination to host further pretend meals and events for her foster family, stuffed animals, and friends.
