Edward, 15 years old

Wish submitted by:

Edward is very intelligent, artistic, creative, and resilient. He lives at home with his parents and younger sister. He is a great big brother and genuinely loves to play with his sister. He also loves animals and he is great at taking care of his three dogs and three lizards. Edward has excellent grades and is doing well in school. He is a very active kiddo who enjoys playing outside and he likes to play football, soccer, and basketball. Overall, Edward is a fun, loving kid.

Edward's wish is to participate in more activities outside of the home. He likes to exercise and play sports, and he wants to build up muscle by going to the gym and having a healthy lifestyle. Edward would love to continue to have a membership to his local YMCA as it offers all these activities and more. The YMCA has a gym, a pool, a rock-climbing wall, and a playroom, and it offers team sports activities that he can participate in. Edward has made huge strides in his mental and physical health, and much of this improvement is attributed to having access to his local YCMA and being able to engage in healthy activities. The YMCA will also be a great place for Edward to spend time over summer break! This wish will pay for an additional five months of membership. He will be thrilled to continue his routine and activities, which he loves so much!
