Riley, 7 years old, MO | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Riley is full of personality and energy. She’s sassy, a little wild in the best way, and always keeps people laughing. Riley has a bold spirit and isn’t afraid to be herself. Her confidence and sense of humor make her the life of any party, and she naturally brings fun wherever she goes. Riley experienced a rough foster care journey early in life, facing challenges that many kids never have to navigate. Even so, she continues to shine brightly. Her energy, humor, and outgoing personality are part of her resilience—they’re how she connects, copes, and keeps moving forward.

Riley wishes for an iPad because she loves to color, listen to read-along books, and play dress-up games. An iPad would give her access to creative coloring apps where she can design and express herself in fun, colorful ways. It would also allow her to listen and read along to stories and explore new books digitally, encouraging her love of reading. She especially enjoys dress-up and creative games that let her use her imagination and style. Having an iPad would give her a positive outlet to explore those interests while also supporting learning and reading skills.
