Amanda G, 3 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Amanda has been in foster care since birth due to domestic violence and her mother's struggle with addiction. Her father was deported when she was just a few months old, leaving her without the opportunity to form a relationship with either parent. Despite these early challenges, Amanda is thriving and showing just how resilient she is. Amanda attends daycare, where she continues to grow and learn each day. She loves telling jokes, acting silly, and making those around her laugh. Amanda is a very smart, loving child whose joyful personality shines through in everything she does.

Amanda is asking for a bike because it represents joy, independence, and the chance to enjoy simple childhood fun. Despite experiencing instability from birth, Amanda has shown incredible resilience and continues to thrive. A bike would give her a positive outlet for play, allowing her to build confidence as she learns to ride and explores her world in a safe, healthy way. Riding a bike would also encourage Amanda's physical development and provide opportunities for outdoor play, laughter, and making happy memories with her brother.
