Rico, 8 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Rico lives in a kinship home with his disabled brother and grandmother. He is a very active and energetic boy who loves being outdoors. His passion for Minecraft shines through in everything he does; whether he’s playing for hours with Legos and action figures or working on Minecraft coloring sheets, he immerses himself in his favorite world. Due to his brother's disability, Rico doesn’t have many opportunities to engage with the community. Instead, he often dedicates his time to helping his grandmother meet his brother's needs, showcasing his caring and responsible nature.

Rico's brother has a disability that limits their ability to engage with the outside world, resulting in Rico spending most of their time indoors rather than exploring the vibrant community around them. However, he dreams of the freedom that a bike could provide. With the ability to ride, Rico would not only gain a sense of independence but also the opportunity to be active outdoors, all while staying under the watchful eye of his caregiver. This newfound mobility could open up a world of possibilities for him, allowing him to enjoy the fresh air and the thrill of adventure in a safe and supportive environment.
