Lena, 7 years old, WA | 24 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Lena is currently living in a kinship placement with her older sister after entering foster care when her mother experienced a relapse and returned to a treatment facility. While this transition has been challenging, Lena is grateful to be living with someone she knows and loves. Her older sister has provided a safe and supportive environment, helping Lena feel cared for during a difficult time. Although she enjoys being with her sister, she still misses being at home and looks forward to the day when her family can be reunited. One of Lena's favorite ways to cope with her emotions is through singing and dancing. Music allows her to express herself, work through difficult feelings, and find moments of joy even during uncertain times. Whether she is singing along to her favorite songs or dancing around the house, these creative outlets help her stay positive and resilient. Lena's strength, loving spirit, and ability to find hope in challenging situations continue to shine as she navigates this chapter of her life.

Lena doesn't currently have a pair of shoes that fit her properly. New pink tennis shoes would meet a real everyday need while giving her something that feels like hers, comfortable, supportive, and just her style.
