Nalani, 10 years old, CA | 40 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Nalani is in foster care with her younger sister. Everything feels new and unfamiliar, and she misses the comfort of her previous life. Despite her own worries, Nalani does her best to help her sister feel safe by staying close to her and reminding her that they are together. Nalani enjoys drawing, painting, and dancing, using these activities to express herself and have fun. She also loves collecting stuffed animals, which bring her comfort and joy. While the future feels uncertain, Nalani hopes to continue dancing, creating artwork, expanding her collection of stuffed animals, and making new happy memories with her sister.

Nalani is wishing for a Foot Locker gift card so she can choose a new pair of shoes that she truly loves. As she adjusts to recent changes, having the opportunity to pick out her own shoes would help her feel confident, comfortable, and excited for the year ahead. She would enjoy selecting a pair that reflects her personality and supports her active lifestyle, whether she is dancing, spending time with friends, or making new memories with her sibling.
