Kylie, 12 years old, IL | 6 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/23

Wish submitted by:

Kylie and her siblings came into care recently and had a rough start, but they've settled well into their family member's home. As the oldest, she carries a real sense of responsibility to keep her siblings safe, all while remaining a good student who's found new clubs, made friends, and stayed active in sports at her new school. She strives to help out with as much as she can, even while still adjusting to her own new normal.

Kylie has a real soft spot for squishies, and axolotls are one of her favorites. For her birthday, a pack of these squishy little creatures would be right up her alley, giving her something fun to squeeze, collect, and keep close on the days that call for a little extra comfort. It's a playful, low-key gift, but exactly the kind of thing that puts a smile on her face.
