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 sleeps in the same bed as his caregiver, and the closeness helps him feel safe after such an uncertain start. Because she wakes often to feed, soothe, and check on him, a good night’s rest is hard to come by. Two supportive pillows would help them sleep more comfortably.
