Nathanyl, 18 years old, TX | NEEDED BY 12/24

Wish submitted by:

Nathanyl has struggled a lot with behavioral issues since being placed in my home. He is developmentally delayed and suffers from past abuse and neglect. He seeks a lot of attention and is constantly in need of someone either talking with him or playing with him. He enjoys watching television, especially football games. He also likes to play with his tablet. He will try to play with the other children but his social skills are poor and oftentimes the others do not want to be engaged with him. He recently started doing puzzles and he seems to like those. He also enjoyed building a village with magnetic blocks at a kids event recently.

Nathanyl wants a new chess board to enhance and refine his chess abilities, reflecting his dedication to improving the game. Nathanyl sees chess as more than just a game; it’s a way to challenge his strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. He enjoys studying different strategies and learning from each game he plays. A new chess board would give him a fresh and motivating setup to practice regularly. His goal is to become a better player and possibly compete in tournaments one day.
