Wish submitted by:

Gabe is a young man with a vibrant, fun-loving personality and a great sense of humor. Currently living in a group home, he has proven to be responsible and dependable. Gabe is actively working on improving his self-control, managing his emotions, and overcoming the challenges life has presented him. He is reliable and trustworthy and has a passion for video games and socializing with peers who share his interests. Rather than allowing his past to hold him back, Gabe uses his experiences as motivation to better himself. Those who care for him see immense potential in him and believe he has a bright future ahead.

Gabe has a heartfelt wish to own his own gaming device along with some of his favorite games. Living in a residential facility limits his access to gaming, making it even more special for him. Gaming is an essential way for Gabe to relax, allowing him to unwind after busy days at school and escape the chaos of his surroundings. Life in a communal setting with other kids, each with their own stories and challenges, can be overwhelming. He hopes to get a Mario game to play on his new Switch, which would bring him immense joy and provide him with hours of entertainment.
