Billy, 16 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 03/29

Wish submitted by:

Billy grew up in foster care, moving from one place to another and never quite feeling at home. Each new move meant new rules, schools, and people, which made him tired and frustrated. He learned not to get too comfortable because things could change at any moment. But there was one thing he always loved: being outside. Running, climbing, and feeling the wind made him feel free and happy. Now, for the first time in a long while, Billy is in a foster home where he can stay for a bit. He’s starting to feel a bit normal with a routine and friendly faces at the dinner table. He knows he has a cozy bed to return to every night. He spends his days outside, playing basketball, riding his bike, and running just for the fun of it.

Billy really wants a pair of blue Nike sweatpants and a matching blue Nike sweatshirt for his birthday. He thinks having both pieces would be perfect for a comfortable and stylish outfit, ideal for hanging out with friends or relaxing at home. He has been hinting to his family about wanting the matching set, hoping they’ll get the message. He’s excited about the idea of finally owning this outfit that he knows he would wear all the time.
