Michael, 11 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Michael is a creative young man who struggles with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. He has been in and out of the foster system for years but has recently found a permanent home. Although he has difficulty making friends and adjusting to new environments, he has a passion for building things with Legos. Additionally, he enjoys writing songs, playing the drums, and singing in the choir.

Recently, a hurricane flooded Michael's home, forcing him and his family to relocate. Since the disaster, he has been finding it hard to get back into his routine. He often asks for his favorite throw blanket, toy, and hoodie—items that provide him with comfort. Sadly, their home was completely submerged, and they couldn’t salvage any belongings. Now in a new place, Michael struggles to understand the situation and frequently inquires about his cherished possessions that help ease his feelings. He urgently needs clothing and shoes.
