Wish submitted by:

Kris is an adventurous and intelligent young boy. He loves to be outside swimming in the summer and building snowmen in the winter. He has been living in foster care for a few years and has had a difficult time being separated from his mother and siblings. He uses his imagination to deal with some of the grief and loss he feels. Games like Minecraft help him socialize with other kiddos and use his imagination to solve puzzles and create new worlds. He also loves to learn. If given the chance and proper support at school, he shines. He also has a very giving heart. While he can have trouble controlling his anger at times, he is quick to acknowledge what he did wrong and try to make amends. Kris is a young boy who needs patience, understanding, and above anything else- to know that he matters in this world and is loved!

Kris often finds face-to-face interactions challenging, which leads him to seek connections through online games and social media platforms. Over time, he has grown quite fond of his tablet, using it as his primary tool for staying in touch with friends and engaging in virtual adventures. However, as he delved deeper into the digital world, he soon realized that his beloved tablet had reached its storage limit and needed an upgrade. During a recent shopping trip, Kris embarked on a casual window shopping excursion, hoping to find something to fulfill his growing tech needs. As he wandered through the electronics section, his eyes landed on a sleek Samsung tablet that seemed to embody everything he desired in a device. Excitement surged through him as he examined its features and capabilities, knowing it would not only enhance his online experiences but also provide him with the space he lacked. With a gleam in his eye, he affectionately dubbed it his "new dream tablet," feeling a sense of joy at the prospect of finally upgrading to a gadget that would truly meet his expectations and enrich his digital connections.
