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 therapist recommended noise-reducing headphones to help her manage sensory input. When loud environments feel overwhelming or she's struggling to concentrate, they'd give her a way to turn down the volume on the world around her, whether she's at home, at school, in a crowded space, or traveling. It's a simple tool that would help Catalina feel more in control of her surroundings, wherever she is.
