Legend, 1 year old, VA | 7 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/09

Wish submitted by:

Legend is a determined little climber, the kind of toddler who sees a couch, a chair, or a low shelf and immediately wants to conquer it. He's endlessly curious about how things fit together, spending long stretches stacking cups, nesting bowls, and figuring out simple puzzles with chunky pieces. Legend has been in his current foster placement for several months after an earlier placement didn't work out, and while the transition was hard at first, he's slowly become more comfortable with his routine and caregivers. He's a picky eater who lights up at the sight of fruit, loves being outside more than just about anything, and gives the biggest laugh when he's chased around the yard. Legend has already faced real disruption for someone so young, and he deserves patient, steady caregivers who can give him the predictability and encouragement he needs to keep growing into his adventurous, determined self.

Legend is a natural climber and mover, always looking for the next thing to conquer, and a small indoor trampoline would give him a safe outlet for all that adventurous energy. Bouncing would let him build strength, balance, and coordination while doing exactly what he loves most: being active and having fun. For a little boy who has faced a difficult transition between placements, having a fun, physical outlet at home can help him release energy, build confidence, and feel more settled in his current routine. Your gift would give Legend an exciting way to play and a healthy outlet for his adventurous spirit.
