Olivia, 8 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Olivia lives with her mother and two brothers. Over the past few years, her family has faced significant challenges, including periods of homelessness. Despite these hardships, Olivia’s mother worked hard to create stability for her children and recently secured housing for the family. Their family first moved into a one-bedroom apartment, which was an important step forward. Now they have been approved for a three-bedroom home, and Olivia is especially excited about having her own bedroom and space for her own toys for the very first time. Olivia continues to approach life with excitement and joy. She is especially thrilled about the opportunity to take dance classes and explore something she truly loves.

Olivia is working on emotional regulation and learning healthy coping skills. She finds painting calming and enjoys creative activities that help her slow down and express her feelings in a positive way. A glow painting kit would give Olivia a soothing activity she can use at home. It would help her build confidence, encourage creativity, and provide a calming outlet when she needs it. She is especially excited about making glowing artwork and displaying her creations outdoors this summer.
