Grayson, 5 years old, MO | NEEDED BY 12/24

Wish submitted by:

Grayson is a bright, talented, and curious little guy who loves learning new things and discovering the world around him. Currently living in relative care with his grandmother, Grayson is growing and thriving with the love and support of family as he continues to build important skills and confidence. He especially enjoys playing games, including virtual pet games that allow him to experience the joy of caring for animals since having pets at home isn't an option. Beneath his playful personality is a big heart, and Grayson loves finding ways to help others, whether he is assisting his grandma with groceries or lending a hand with his siblings' school projects. He is doing wonderfully in school, where his responsible nature, attentiveness, and willingness to follow directions shine through as he learns and grows each day. Grayson's combination of intelligence, kindness, and enthusiasm makes him a special young boy who brings joy to those around him, and with continued encouragement and opportunities to explore his interests, he has so much potential ahead of him.

Grayson loves having a virtual pet, the Nintendo switch has the amazing game that allows him to care for, feed, and achieve goals in taking care of an animal. He isn't able to have his own personal pet because of the housing restrictions, so this is a way for him to feel like he has is own little friend in the best way possible. Right now he is sharing a switch with his 4 other siblings, so he isn't always able to keep up with his virtual pet, which is sad for him. He would love to have his own switch that he can come home from school and play with. The game gives him educational activities that he completes to earn things for his pet to, so he's learning as he is doing something fun!
