Mary, 5 years old, IA

Wish submitted by:

Mary has moved several times in her young life. She sometimes struggles to express her intense emotions and often seeks relief from her surroundings. Her high energy can be challenging, especially when her routine is disrupted. Nevertheless, she is working hard to learn new ways to express herself in a safe manner. Mary is fascinated by everyone she meets and loves to communicate with them.

Mary is growing quickly and would be thrilled to have a new dress that she can proudly wear during her everyday adventures. As a child in the foster care system, having something special of her own means a great deal to her. Her favorite colors are pink and purple, and the cheerful heart pattern makes this dress particularly meaningful, especially as she practices drawing different shapes. Hearts are her favorite shapes!
