Vinnie, 9 years old

Wish submitted by:

Vinnie is a lively, spunky, energetic and friendly young man. He is currently placed with his older brother, his favorite thing to do is to visit with his younger brothers who are placed in another home.

Vinnie has been in foster care with his brother for two years. Recently, his aunt and uncle became his guardians and want to keep him involved in sports and extracurricular activities. Vinnie played soccer, which greatly boosted his self-esteem. He is now interested in playing baseball. Since his aunt and uncle aren’t always able to attend his practices and games—especially as they also have two other children involved in different activities—Vinnie would like a watch that allows him to stay in contact with his caregivers. The watch can track his physical activities, provide chore reminders, and has GPS tracking. This feature is especially convenient as Vinnie is becoming more independent and has started visiting some of his biological family more frequently. Vinnie has been improving academically and putting in a great deal of effort at school; he truly deserves something special like this.
