Jlynn, 11 years old, MO | 7 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jlynn is a loving girl with a big personality and a special place in her heart for all things Stitch! She enjoys painting everyone’s fingernails, playing board games, listening to music, and spending time around animals. After experiencing severe abuse, Jlynn has faced challenges no child should ever have to endure. She found a caring foster parent, a nurse she first met during a hospital stay, who gave her the chance to build trust and experience the comfort of a supportive home. Jlynn attends a specialized school where she can receive the support she needs to learn, grow, and reach her full potential. Although she continues to navigate difficult emotions and moments when she struggles to keep herself safe, she deserves patience, understanding, and people who will continue to show up for her. Now available for adoption, Jlynn is waiting for a permanent family who will embrace her unique personality, celebrate what makes her happy, and provide the love, security, and stability she deserves.

Jlynn is a creative young girl who loves to draw, and an Apple Pencil would let her turn her ideas into digital artwork on her iPad. She could experiment with colors and designs, practice new techniques, and personalize everything she makes. It would be a fun, mess-free way to create whenever inspiration strikes, without worrying about running out of paper or art supplies. Drawing also helps her express her emotions, keep her hands busy, and find moments of calm when feelings become overwhelming. With each piece she finishes, she builds confidence in her skills and discovers more of what she can do. After a childhood marked by hospital stays and residential treatment, having her own tools to explore her interests would give her a steady, happy way to create something all her own.
