Barbie, 8 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 08/28

Wish submitted by:

Barbie was placed in care at a young age and was recently reunited with her mother, but has now been placed in care again. She is having a difficult time with this transition. Barbie loves playing sports and enjoys her squishies. She is determined and independent, having had to grow up quickly due to her circumstances. Despite the challenges she has faced, Barbie continues to show strength and resilience and would benefit from positive activities that help her feel comforted and supported.

Barbie is excited to start second grade. She has never had many friends and often feels excluded at school. Barbie believes that if she had "cool and nice" clothes, she would feel more confident in making friends and that people would be nicer to her. A few months ago, Barbie was returned to her mother, and they are working together to manage their finances. Unfortunately, buying cool and nice clothing is not within their budget. A couple of nice outfits would boost Barbie's confidence and give her the courage to take on the new school year.
