Danielle, 5 years old, NY | 29 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Danielle is a bright, kindhearted girl who lives with her long-term guardian—a devoted family friend who has lovingly raised her since she was an infant. Possessing an adventurous spirit and a big heart, Danielle shines brightest when she is outside exploring, playing, and connecting with nature. She works hard every day to overcome physical challenges, including low muscle tone that requires her to wear leg braces.

Danielle would love to have her very own bicycle with training wheels; it would be a life-changing milestone for her. Not only would it bring the sheer joy of riding alongside her friends, but the added stability of training wheels would allow her to ride safely while experiencing the freedom of being outdoors. It would provide the fun, active therapy she needs to strengthen her leg muscles, build endurance, and practice coordination. Ultimately, it’s about gaining newfound independence and the happiness that comes with riding.
