Ollie, 3 months old, VA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ollie has a grip like a tiny champion, wrapping his hand around fingers, blanket corners, or stray locks of hair and holding on as if he will never let go. Beginning his journey, Ollie has faced more change than most babies should. Entering foster care just days after birth, he learns with each cuddle that his cries will be answered and his needs met. He studies faces with wide, serious eyes, and his body wiggles with joy at silly noises. A strong and curious baby, Ollie loves to reach, grab, and kick. As he rolls, babbles, and explores with his hands, he needs a steady, loving home where he can be held often and receive the attention he truly deserves.

Ollie’s strong little hands are always reaching for something, and a basketball would give him a fun, round shape to explore. It’s a perfect size for tummy time, rolling games, and gentle play with his caregivers, and it will keep him entertained as he grows into a sturdy crawler and walker. For a baby who loves to hold on, a ball of his own is a joyful first toy.
