Melvin, 7 years old

Wish submitted by:

Melvin is a joyous, kind-hearted, and intelligent young boy who was recently placed back into foster care for the second time. Despite everything he has been through, he continues to be a ray of sunshine to anyone who has the privilege of knowing him. Melvin loves Fortnight, Inside Out, Legos, and the color blue! His favorite animals are dogs, and he hopes to become a veterinarian one day so he can help sick kitties and doggies. Melvin is a friend to anyone in need and spreads so much joy and love to everyone he encounters.

Melvin was recently placed in a new foster home where all of the other children have a tablet of their own. While the other children have been very considerate and great with sharing, It would be great for him to have one of his own so he can play age-appropriate educational games. Melvin has stated that at his school, they practiced math by using an app that helps make multiplication fun and engaging. Having access to this at home will allow him to keep practicing while not at school!
