Wish submitted by:

Cookie is a strong and determined young girl facing tough challenges rooted in her difficult past, including experiences of domestic violence. She may have ADHD and high-functioning autism and is currently receiving early intervention. These struggles heighten her feelings of shame, which impact her self-confidence. Despite these obstacles, Cookie’s inner strength shines through, especially in her passion for singing and her dreams of attending dance school. Her advanced abilities set her apart, showcasing her unique talents. Additionally, she finds joy and comfort in drawing and playing with her older sister, activities that provide her a sense of happiness amidst her struggles.

Cookie is excited about the idea of having an activity table. This table would serve as a therapeutic outlet for her learning and exploration. It would not only enhance her creative play but also spark her curiosity and desire to learn. An activity table will empower Cookie to engage in hands-on projects, experiment with new ideas, and express her creativity in meaningful ways.
