Nigel, 13 years old

Wish submitted by:

Nigel is the middle child among three siblings in foster care. He has made significant progress in his life. Previously, he faced many behavioral challenges and struggled academically, but now he is excelling. Nigel enjoys sports and video games and has a great sense of humor. He values his independence and prefers to do things on his own, taking great pride in his accomplishments. Nigel is becoming more active in the community, enjoying sports at the local YMCA, and hopes to play football when he starts high school next year. He is passionate about football and dreams of playing in the NFL, with the Washington Commanders being his favorite team.

Nigel is not in a position to have a traditional Christmas this year. He is currently staying in a facility in another state, but he is thriving there! He has requested a gift card from Target so he can choose his own new clothes and shoes. At his age, he prefers selecting his own clothing rather than having others choose for him, and there are restrictions on what he can keep while in the facility.
