Cage, 12 years old, GA

Wish submitted by:

Cage spent 18 months in foster care while his mom worked toward reunification. During that time he formed a real bond with his foster family who never stopped showing up for him. He is energetic and fun-loving and has been through enough to know how much it means to finally belong somewhere.

Cage’s foster parents play a significant role in his life, bringing warmth and stability that he cherishes deeply. Each visit to their home is a delightful adventure, especially when he dives into the immersive world of their Oculus. The joy it brings him is palpable, providing an escape that he eagerly looks forward to after the challenges of school. Unfortunately, Cage’s mom, a dedicated single parent, lacks the resources to provide such experiences for him. She works tirelessly to offer what she can, but the financial constraints mean that an Oculus is simply out of reach. Imagine how transformative it would be for Cage to have his own device at home—a personal sanctuary where he can unwind and let his imagination soar after long, exhausting days. The opportunity to create those moments of joy, exploration, and relaxation in his own space would mean the world to him.
