Natalie, 17 years old, CA | 8 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

In February 2024, Natalie entered the foster care system after her family faced significant challenges that led to a report being made to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The experience has been traumatic for her, but amid the upheaval, Natalie finds solace in the strong bond she shares with her siblings. Together, they create joyful moments through dancing and spending time outdoors, which brings her a sense of happiness during these difficult times. Although Natalie is reserved and often observes those around her, her caring nature shines through when it comes to her siblings. As the second oldest girl among them, she plays a vital role in their lives, providing support and love.

Natalie needs a helmet to go with the bike she recently requested. The helmet will help keep her safe during her rides. She chose this smart helmet because it features fun, colorful lights that she can customize.
