Rowan, 5 years old, VA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Rowan is a bright and chatty kid with a passion for dinosaurs, effortlessly identifying them and sharing interesting facts. He enjoys building block towers for his toy dinosaurs and has a natural curiosity, often asking "why" questions about the world. After spending six months with his current foster family following a period of significant neglect, he’s making strides in his development, particularly in speech, thanks to early intervention services. While he can be strong-willed and have emotional reactions when things don’t go his way, his foster family is helping him manage these feelings with patience and consistency. As he prepares to start kindergarten, Rowan feels both excited and nervous, deserving of a stable home to continue building his confidence and skills.

Rowan loves getting lost in a good hands-on project, and a Disney Cars Ultimate Sticker Book would give him hours of engaged, independent play as he builds scenes and stories with his favorite characters. Activities like this also support the fine motor and focus skills his foster family has been helping him strengthen since he came into their care. For a chatty, curious kid who's about to take on the big transition of starting kindergarten, having a favorite, comforting activity to return to can help ease some of that nervous energy.
