Ava, 6 years old, AZ

Wish submitted by:

Ava is a sweet girl who entered foster care after spending time under the guardianship of her grandma. It was a difficult decision for her grandma, who realized that Ava wasn't thriving and felt it was best to seek help for her. Now, Ava is embraced by a loving fictive kinship home. Although this home is already bustling with their three adoptive daughters, they have welcomed Ava with open arms, even if they weren't fully prepared for this new transition. Ava is facing challenges with boundaries and sharing, but her new foster mama is deeply committed to supporting her through this journey. With patience and love, she won’t give up on Ava, believing that every little girl deserves a chance to thrive.

Ava has recently moved in with a neighbor who is letting her stay for a while. Although she is in a kind and loving home, she is struggling to adjust to her new life. She used to live with her grandmother, who took care of her, but when her grandmother had some problems, she felt it was best for Ava to move out. Now, Ava lives with a new family that has three daughters, and she often feels like she doesn’t belong. One thing that makes her happy is the twinkling lights above the beds of the other girls. Ava dreams of having her own light pink canopy with twinkly lights for her bed to make her feel safe and cozy as she goes to sleep. These small comforts help her feel more at home with her new family.
