Amaya, 7 years old, MO | 6 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Amaya is a big-hearted girl who lives with her aunt while she works on reuniting with her dad. She's known for her kindness and has a natural ability to make friends wherever she goes, brightening everyone's day with her warm smile. Amaya absolutely loves to read; she often gets lost in magical stories that whisk her away to new and exciting worlds. Plus, she’s a huge fan of Pokémon! Whether she’s collecting cards, diving into games, or chatting about her favorite characters, she brings so much joy to the things she loves. As she navigates this journey to reunite with her dad, Amaya’s kindness, love of reading, and passion for Pokémon help her keep a positive outlook and build wonderful relationships with those around her.

Amaya really wants a special set of markers that she can call her own. Lately, things have been tough at home, especially because her younger sibling is dealing with some serious health issues, so most of the attention has been on them. Being a middle child, Amaya often feels like she’s stuck in the middle. She’s great at being loving and supportive, but this time has been hard for her. Having her own markers would give her a place to create and express herself, helping her feel noticed and understood. Art is an important way for her to work through her feelings, use her imagination, and have some time just for herself.
