Erika, 7 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Erika is a bright, creative, and outgoing girl. She and her sister are thriving in their foster home, demonstrating remarkable resilience as they navigate the foster care system. While they are happy where they are, they feel understandably anxious about an upcoming move out of the county to live with a parent they haven't met in person. Because of this transition, they want to spend as much time as possible with the loved ones in their current community before they depart.

Erika and her sister love animals! They were particularly excited about the chance to visit the zoo with their classmates next year. However, due to an upcoming international move, they will no longer have that experience. This transition brings many unknowns, and providing them with a special outing to Safari West would create a joyful and memorable experience before they leave. This opportunity would not only celebrate their love for animals but also create a meaningful and positive lasting memory during this time of change, reminding them that they are cared for and supported.
