Wish submitted by:

Cookie is a strong and determined young girl facing tough challenges rooted in her difficult past, including experiences of domestic violence. She may have ADHD and high-functioning autism and is currently receiving early intervention. These struggles heighten her feelings of shame, which impact her self-confidence. Despite these obstacles, Cookie’s inner strength shines through, especially in her passion for singing and her dreams of attending dance school. Her advanced abilities set her apart, showcasing her unique talents. Additionally, she finds joy and comfort in drawing and playing with her older sister, activities that provide her a sense of happiness amidst her struggles.

Cookie loves all of her toys and they have brought her a lot of joy. She loves using her imagination and being creative while she plays. Some of her favorite toys need batteries to work, but she doesn’t have any right now, so she isn’t able to fully enjoy them. Having batteries would make a big difference for Cookie. It would let her play with her toys the way they were meant to be used and give her a fun break from screen time.
