Laylani Rose's Toy Closet
Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley has dedicated our toy closet in memory of wish child Laylani Rose. Laylani passed away before her wish was granted but her mom, Bonita, knew she wanted to keep Laylani’s legacy alive. A few years after Laylani’s passing, Bonita saw a job posting for a Wish Manger position at the chapter. “This is the same Make-A-Wish that was going to give my daughter a wish, I knew it was a sign,” shared Bonita. Now a Wish Manager, Bonita keeps Laylani’s legacy alive in all the wishes she grants.
Each year, Bonita organizes a toy drive around Laylani’s birthday and donates the toys for our chapter's toy closet. These toys are given to each wish kid before their wish is granted to bring excitement and joy. Toys are needed throughout the year to make sure each wish kid has an unforgettable wish experience.
