Ava, 11 years old, NJ |

Wish submitted by:

Ava is a friendly, outgoing girl who loves school and helping others. After recently returning home with her mother and sister from foster care, she continues to make progress and thrive in the classroom. Despite the challenges she has faced, Ava’s bright spirit and caring nature continue to shine.

Ava wants a cellphone for Christmas to bring a little normalcy and joy to her life after a challenging year. After spending time in foster care, Ava has recently returned home to her mother and is adjusting to this new chapter. Her family is facing financial hardships after losing their housing and her father’s incarceration, while her mother is unable to work due to a brain tumor. As they work toward securing a new apartment, a cellphone would be a special gift for Ava to enjoy and a reminder of the comfort and stability she deserves as she settles back into life with her mom.
