Children's Institute

Leanna has faced many challenges in her young life, coping with the trauma she witnessed in her parents’ relationship. Though she is reunited with her mother and grateful for the stability this brings, she continues to struggle with her emotions and mental health. Despite these difficulties, Leanna is a resilient and thoughtful girl. She finds comfort in reading, where she can escape into new worlds, and in spending time with animals, which bring her peace and joy. These passions help her cope and remind her of the hope she deserves. Leanna’s journey is ongoing, but her love for books and animals reflects her strength, creativity, and gentle spirit. With continued support, she is learning to heal and embrace the brighter future ahead.

Lianna has recently become obsessed with Pop Mart figurines and dreams of starting her own collection. This Christmas, she would be ecstatic to receive the Twinkle Twinkle box set characters. For Lianna, these figurines are more than toys — they represent joy, creativity, and the excitement of beginning something special that she can cherish and grow over time. Fulfilling this wish will make Lianna feel loved and cared for, showing her that her passions matter. It will also ease the financial burden on her mother, who is currently unemployed and unable to afford Christmas gifts. Receiving the Pop Mart set would bring Lianna happiness, help her begin her collection, and make her holiday truly magical.
