Wish submitted by:

Tanner lives with his grandmother and has a strong bond with his siblings and her. He loves spending time with them whenever he can. Tanner enjoys preparing meals, playing games, and having fun in the yard together. Additionally, he is a diligent student who works hard in school and has managed to maintain a B average, which has earned him a spot on the honor roll—something he takes great pride in.

Tanner loves everything about skating. He works at a skating rink, but his true passion is skateboarding. He has learned some cool tricks and enjoys cruising around town on his board. Tanner uses skating as a way to relieve stress. Unfortunately, his skateboard broke. Currently, Tanner is staying with his grandma, who was in the hospital last week. Without his board to skate, Tanner has been feeling extremely stressed. He worries about his grandma and how he would cope emotionally if something were to happen to her. He would be thrilled to get a new skateboard to cruise so he can cruise around.
