Milli, 6 years old, IA | NEEDED BY 05/15

Wish submitted by:

Milli carries a light that never seems to fade. She is full of energy and imagination, twirling in borrowed dresses, humming songs she half-remembers, and turning even the smallest moments into something magical. She adores all things sparkly, as well as shades of pink, purple, and bright colors—those "girly" joys that make her feel like a princess, even if just for a moment. Yet behind her laughter lies a life that has been anything but simple. Despite everything she has experienced, she still believes in wishes! When she smiles—really smiles—you can see it: the resilience of a child who continues to believe that the world can be kind.

Milli has faced a lot of change and uncertainty, yet she continues to demonstrate incredible resilience and joy. Full of energy and a love for play, she finds happiness in the little things, especially when spending time with others and just being a kid. One of the most meaningful aspects of her past is the opportunity to bring a friend for free. Building and maintaining friendships can be challenging for children in foster care, and this chance would allow her to invite a friend to share in a joyful experience. This wish would not only provide fun and excitement but also a sense of normalcy, belonging, and connection that every child deserves.
