Wish submitted by:

Mayla is a bright, talented, and determined girl who continues to shine despite the challenges she has faced. Mayla is in foster care, takes great pride in her education, and is on the honor roll. She works hard in school and loves the feeling of accomplishing her goals. One of her favorite things to do is dance. She is so happy to be part of a dance team and enjoys learning new routines, practicing her moves, and performing alongside her teammates. Dancing gives Mayla an opportunity to express herself, build confidence, and do something she truly loves. She also enjoys putting puzzles together and loves the excitement of figuring out where each piece belongs. Whether she is working on a challenging puzzle or learning a new dance routine, Mayla enjoys activities that keep her mind busy and allow her creativity to shine. Mayla is a thoughtful, hardworking, and talented young girl with so much potential. She continues to make wonderful accomplishments both inside and outside the classroom.

Mayla is in foster care and has experienced the heartbreak of being separated from her siblings. As she adjusts to life without them by her side, she holds tightly to the special memories they created together. One of those memories is their love for Care Bears. Mayla and her siblings each had a favorite Care Bear, something that brought them happiness and connected them to one another. This Halloween, Mayla wishes for a Care Bear costume. Dressing up as her favorite Care Bear would remind her of the moments she shared with her brothers and sisters and help her feel connected to them, even while they are apart. Granting this wish would give her a little piece of home, a comforting reminder of her siblings, and a reason to smile during a time when she misses them dearly.
