Catalina, 8 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING
Wish submitted by:
NJ DCFS - Cumberland CountyCatalina has experienced significant trauma and separation in her young life. In 2025, she experienced a significant medical catastrophe that doctors believed she might not survive. She has been in foster care since February 2026. She has multiple mental health diagnoses and significant cognitive deficits.
Catalina's therapist has specifically recommended this sensory chair as part of her care. The gentle movement and sensory input it provides help Catalina feel comfortable, engaged, and regulated, giving her a hands-on way to build balance and body awareness at her own pace. It also offers a soft, predictable transition between activities, a small but meaningful tool that helps Catalina move through her day with a little more ease.
