Isaac, 9 years old

Wish submitted by:

Isaac is a wonderful little boy who loves everyone! He is well-liked at school by both teachers and peers. He is thoughtful and is always the first to volunteer to help with anything. Isaac enjoys playing outside, playing board games with his sister, and watching movies.

Isaac's Christmas this year is filled with a palpable sadness that weighs heavily on his heart. Due to unforeseen and traumatic circumstances, he finds himself unable to be with his mother—a loss that casts a shadow over what should be a joyful holiday. In the wake of this upheaval, his father has made the selfless decision to leave his job, dedicating his time to supporting Isaac and his sister through this challenging period. Amidst the chaos, Isaac held onto one special wish—a Nintendo Switch, his dream gift that he believed would bring a glimmer of joy to their lives. He had confided in his mother, hoping she could make this wish come true, but the reality of their situation made that impossible. Now, with the holidays approaching, his father faces the stark reality of their finances, realizing he can’t afford the gift that could provide Isaac with a much-needed escape and a chance to bond with his sister through gaming. While a Nintendo Switch may not be a necessity, for Isaac, it represents a flicker of happiness in an otherwise dark time. It symbolizes moments of laughter, shared adventures, and the comforting embrace of family—a little beacon of joy that could lift their spirits in a season that has become so difficult. Isaac hopes that through the magic of gaming, he and his sister can create new memories, reminding them of the joy and connection that still exists, even amid hardship. His wish is one of hope—a small light in the depths of winter.
