Nick, 7 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 05/30

Wish submitted by:

Nick is a sweet boy who has spent most of his young life in the foster care system. He was removed from his family when he was just a year and a half old and has been in the system for several years, moving through six different homes. Thankfully, Nick is now in a stable and loving environment with a relative, and he is beginning to heal from the trauma he has experienced. The many placement changes in his early childhood disrupted his development, which led to struggles in school for a long time. However, with the educational supports in place, he is now doing much better academically. Nick has developed a passion for arts and crafts, particularly drawing and painting. He is also fascinated by monster trucks and enjoys racing remote control cars.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Nick with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
