JK, 18 years old, FL

Wish submitted by:

JK has been in foster care for most of his life. He has been estranged from his family, so peer socialization has been his way of connecting with others. He has been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum and struggles with transitions. He loves to play video games, hangout with friends, and play basketball. Electronics have always been a huge interest in JK socializing with his peers.

JK struggles with transitions and structure. His current ABA provider is helping him learn how to transition between activities using electronic incentives. He has a passion for Fortnite and recalls a happier time in his life when his former foster parent owned a Fortnite Switch console. He played the game every day, and it brought him immense joy. He has been hoping for a Fortnite Switch of his own, which would help make the group home and his time in foster care more bearable. Despite facing challenges, JK's love for the game serves as a source of comfort and escape, offering him a glimmer of happiness during difficult times.
