Zaria, 8 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 08/07

Wish submitted by:

Zaria is a bright and imaginative girl who lives with her two younger siblings. They were adopted by their older cousin and his wife, who love and take care of them. Zaria has a special bond with her siblings and loves to play with her LOL dolls, creating fun stories and adventures. She enjoys riding her bike outside, feeling the wind in her hair and smiling as she zooms down the street. Even though Zaria has a playful side, she sometimes feels sad and doesn't always know why. She's learning to express her feelings and find support. Staying busy with play, riding her bike, or helping around the house helps her feel better. Her caregivers are patient and loving, always there to support her as she grows and discovers the wonderful person she is.

Zaria is wishing for a Target gift card so she can choose the school essentials she'll need for the year ahead. She is excited to shop for a backpack, lunch box, notebooks, pencils, and other supplies that will help her feel organized and ready for the classroom. Having the opportunity to pick out items that fit her personality and needs would make preparing for school even more exciting and help her begin the year feeling confident, prepared, and ready to learn.
