Natalie, 6 years old, WA | 8 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/27

Wish submitted by:

Natalie has been in foster care for a little over a year, and during that time, she has been working through some big changes for someone her age. Transitions have been hard for her, new homes, new routines, and new adults to trust. Despite these challenges, Natalie is incredibly resilient. She’s learning to feel safe again and growing more comfortable expressing her feelings with the help of patient caregivers. Creative play has become one of the ways she works through her worries. Natalie also enjoys going to the park, jumping on trampolines, and riding her bike. Natalie likes to help in the kitchen and wants to be a chef one day.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Natalie with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
