A baby doll for Daniela who uses her imagination to escape the stress of her situation
Daniela, 12 years old, NJ
Wish submitted by:
NJ DCFS - Ocean CountyDaniela immigrated to the U.S. from Romania at age 9 due to her biological parents' inability to care for her and her siblings. After entering the foster care system, she was adopted by a New Jersey family, along with another Romanian child. Despite being intelligent and learning English quickly, Daniela struggled to adjust and has since lived with two more families. She is currently recommended for residential treatment before potentially being reunified with a family interested in adopting her. Daniela enjoys visiting her resource parents and is eager to learn new coping skills. She hopes to attend college and become a veterinarian to help animals.
Daniela has faced significant losses throughout her life and is currently in a residential treatment program aimed at stabilizing her mental health. She enjoys playing with the younger children in the program and uses imaginary play as a way to escape from the stresses of real life. Daniela loves playing with baby dolls, but the dolls available at the program have become damaged. She would really appreciate having a new, more realistic baby doll to play with.
