Hallie, 3 years old, VA | 6 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 12/11

Wish submitted by:

Hallie is a gentle little girl who always carries her stuffed elephant, Ellie, with her. She loves coloring and feels proud when she completes a picture. After nearly a year in her current foster home, she can be quiet around new people, taking her time to warm up. Hallie enjoys playing outside, blowing bubbles, and collecting rocks and leaves, and she has recently begun asking many questions about her surroundings. Her foster family describes her as sweet and easygoing, though she needs reassurance during changes to her routine.

Hallie frequently embarks on long car rides to visit her biological family, an essential yet often emotionally heavy aspect of her routine. To help her pass the time and ease her nerves, having a tablet would be a comforting companion. Whether she is watching a favorite show or listening to music, these familiar and soothing distractions can significantly reduce the anxiety that accompanies these visits—both beforehand and afterward. For a little girl who tends to be quiet and observant during times of change, a small comfort like this can truly transform her experience of a challenging but important part of her week.
