Village of Hope MauiShanlyn is an adorable little toddler who has been in foster care for over a year after being separated from her mom when she was just one. She’s full of life and loves being the center of attention, often trying to keep up with the big kids around her. Whether she’s flipping through a book or giggling at something funny, her joyful spirit shines through. Shanlyn really enjoys discovering new things, and her laughter is contagious, making her a true joy to be around.
Shanlyn has been nonstop asking to stay at a hotel just so she can swim in the pool; she's even put this request at the top of her Christmas list. Every time she walks by the resorts, her eyes light up with excitement and hope that today will be the day they get to stay the night and go swimming. But unfortunately, a night at a resort just isn't in her family's budget. Swimming would mean so much to her; it’s not just about the water, but the fun and memories she hopes to make.
