Aaliyah, 7 years old, NJ
Wish submitted by:
NJ DCFS - Mercer CountyAaliyah is an adorable and sweet little girl who has been in foster care since she was three months old. She was born to two very young parents who unfortunately weren't able to care for her. Aaliyah is currently in a home that wishes to adopt her and is awaiting her parental rights to be terminated. She is very happy in her resource home. She is catching up to her developmental milestones, enjoys playing with her foster brother and is currently learning to potty train. She has recently moved into a big girl bed! Her favorite things to do in her free time are giggling , having tea parties and going to the park.
As all kids right now, Aaliyah is quarantined due to the COVID-19. Aaliyah loves to go to the playground and play on the swings and wishes to have a swing of her own that she and her foster brother can enjoy together! Aaliyah is also in need of core strengthening and is in the process of receiving PT through Early Intervention, but has not started yet due to all services being placed on hold. This swing will be perfect for her.

"In this new way of life we're experiencing it means so much to have people out there who think of the needs of others. The children have begun to find different ways of exploring their world and this swing helps them to see that there are still ways to have a childhood. Thank you for providing for them the necessary ingredients of childhood: a way of gazing at the sky and making animals out of the clouds. "
