Jessie, 1 year old, NC | 14 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jessie is the sweetest little girl who loves to dote on her little brother! It takes a little bit for her to warm up, but when she does, she loves hugs! Jessie comes from a large family and enjoys reading time with her older sister. Jessie goes to daycare and likes to play in the kitchen area and "cook". Jessie and her family have recently reunited, and she is so happy to be back home with her parents and siblings!

Jessie lights up in the kitchen and shopping area at her daycare, and having her own shopping cart at home would let her bring that same joyful play into everyday life. This pretend play set includes a shopping cart, grocery items, and cookware, giving Jessie everything she needs to act out her own grocery trips, cook up pretend meals, and build imaginative stories all on her own. This kind of role-play is especially valuable right now, as Jessie has been adjusting to a big change: going from the youngest in the family to now having a little brother of her own. Pretend play like this can offer real emotional benefits during a transition like this, giving Jessie a sense of control, independence, and confidence as she works through her new role as a big sister.
