Bentley, 2 years old, VA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Bentley is a physical, high-energy toddler who loves being outside, splashing in puddles, and chasing after the family dog whenever he gets the chance. Bentley entered foster care several months ago and is still adjusting to his first placement, occasionally having big meltdowns when he doesn't get his way, a normal part of toddlerhood made a bit more intense by the instability he's already faced. He's affectionate once he calms down, loves being swung around in the air, and is starting to string together a few words at a time. Bentley's foster family describes him as a joyful handful, full of energy and curiosity. He deserves patient, steady caregivers who can help him feel safe as he continues growing.

As Bentley's birthday approaches, a cuddly Spider-Man plush would give Bentley a fun new companion for playtime, something to hug, carry around, and even help comfort him during the occasional big meltdown that comes with being two and adjusting to a new home. A favorite stuffed toy can offer real reassurance for a toddler still settling into his first placement, giving him something familiar and comforting to turn to. Your gift would give Bentley a joyful new friend and a source of comfort as he continues to grow and adjust.
