Dara, 5 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Dara is a bright and resilient young girl whose smile lights up every room she enters. Living with autism, she receives therapeutic services and continues to grow and thrive while facing challenges with remarkable strength. She enjoys solving puzzles, which highlight her patience and problem-solving skills, and she loves spending time playing with her little brother. Despite experiencing housing instability and having spent time living in a hotel with her mother and younger brother, she remains cheerful, loving, and full of hope. Even in difficult circumstances, she embraces life with happiness and resilience, making her an inspiring young girl with a bright future ahead.

Dara has recently transitioned from a period of housing instability, where she and her family lived in a hotel, to a new apartment thanks to a housing voucher program. Although this marks an exciting fresh start for her, she currently lacks a bed or mattress of her own. Having a bed is essential for Dara, as it would offer her the comfort and security she needs during this adjustment, providing a peaceful sanctuary where she can rest and find joy in her new surroundings.
