Selene, 5 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Selene was born prematurely at 26 weeks' gestation and experienced several medical complications at birth. When she finally came home with her foster parents, they dedicated themselves to learning the essential medical care she required. After nearly two years of nurturing and support, they were able to adopt her. Selene is now thriving despite a range of ongoing medical needs, including a feeding tube, a colostomy bag, and a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. She enjoys spending time with her adoptive parents and shares a close, loving bond with them. Selene recognizes that she is unique because of her feeding tube and is learning to embrace her individuality with the support and encouragement of her family. Her journey has been challenging, but her loving family continues to provide her with the care and support she deserves.

Selene is a young girl who has faced a lot in her life. Born early, she has had several surgeries and needed to be strong from a young age. After being adopted, her family has worked hard to create a loving and safe environment for her. Because of her medical challenges, it’s important for Selene to have toys that are safe and fun for her to use on her own. Selene is doing well and has a happy spirit. She loves to be active and creative, always finding new ways to move, build, and dream. Soft magnetic building blocks would be perfect for her. These blocks are light and safe, so if she drops them, she won’t get hurt. They’ll help her build, solve problems, and express her ideas. Playing with these blocks will also help Selene develop her fine motor skills, build her confidence, and give her a sense of success as she creates different things. Overall, these building blocks would be a wonderful way for her to learn and grow in her forever home.
