Catalina, 8 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Catalina 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 current therapist has indicated that these therapeutic toys support social-emotional learning through visual stimulation and tactile interaction. They help find tranquility during quiet times at home, school, or while traveling. These self-soothing tubes enhance focus and reduce anxiety while aiding in managing unspoken emotions. Because of Catalina's speech delays and emotional dysregulation, these toys would help her regulate her emotions.
