Bentley, 12 years old

Wish submitted by:

Bentley is a sweet, polite young boy who wants to be social and make friends. He has recently moved in with a new foster family. He has one foster brother of the same age. He is enjoying getting to know his new family and is adjusting well to his new school. Bentley loves fishing and puzzles; the Boston Red Socks; jump parks; playing sports; playing video games; Pokémon; and, Legos. We are looking for activities and opportunities to bond with his new family and would love to go to recreation parks; events; or for things to do at home on rainy days.

Bentley has always dreamed of having a fish—the vibrant colors, the graceful movements, and the tranquility they bring mesmerize him. Imagine the joy on his face as he watches his very own fish glide through the water, creating ripples of happiness in his life! A beautifully designed tank paired with the right stand would transform his room into a serene aquatic haven. More than just a home for his fish, it would provide a dedicated, organized space for all the essential supplies—food, filters, and decorations—that come with this fulfilling hobby. Owning a fish isn’t just about watching it swim; it’s a lesson in responsibility and care. Bentley would learn to nurture another living being, fostering a sense of commitment and purpose as he tends to his new friend. This experience would not only enrich his life but also ignite a passion for nature and stewardship. A fish tank would open the door to a world of responsibility, discovery, and joy—a dream come true for Bentley!
