Kasey, 7 years old, CA | 37 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kasey was initially removed from her parents' care and placed in foster care. At the beginning of the case, she exhibited a mature demeanor for her age, displaying almost parentified behaviors. Kasey has worked through her trauma and has successfully reunited with her mother. Currently, Kasey lives in a household with a single income, facing some challenges. She is a happy and friendly child who can spark a conversation about anything. Kasey is curious about the world and is showing more age-appropriate interests in play.

Kasey is beginning to engage in more age-appropriate play, as she previously experienced parentification. She would love to have a pretend kitchen to mimic cooking alongside her mother. Kasey is a fan of the color pink and would be delighted to display her pretend kitchen in the living room. She has mentioned that she has made space for it. Currently, Kasey lives with her mother, who is a single parent relying on a single income. The father is not currently paying child support, and the mother has faced financial challenges due to a restructuring at her job.
