Natalia, 17 years old, MD

Wish submitted by:

Natalia is a talented and imaginative child with developmental delays who recently entered foster care and is beginning to adjust to a new chapter in her life. She loves keeping her hands busy with creative activities, especially arts and crafts, where she can bring new ideas to life and express herself through her artwork. Creating allows Natalia to explore different colors and designs, use her imagination, and make special pieces for the people she cares about. Having access to art supplies would encourage her creativity, provide a comforting outlet for self-expression, and bring a little extra joy as she settles into her new environment.

Although Natalia is developmentally younger than her age, she loves getting creative and using art to express herself. A set of vibrant markers would allow her to explore a variety of colors, bring her imagination to life, and share her feelings through her artwork. Having new art supplies would encourage Natalia to continue developing her creativity while giving her a fun and comforting outlet for self-expression as she navigates her emotions and experiences.
