Brayden, 11 years old

Wish submitted by:

Brayden is one of those kids who is too smart for his own good. He comes from a divorced family and frequently disagrees with his stepfather. Brayden is an avid gamer, loves to read long chapter books, and enjoys sharing a plethora of random knowledge that he has!

Brayden's parents do not have the financial means to afford school items, and they rely heavily on community resources to help get what he needs. Brayden is ready for middle school, but he is embarrassed at the thought of his mom making him use the same Super Mario backpack he has had for the past two years. Most of the binders are large enough to replace backpacks altogether, and he would love to receive one as a graduation gift so that he is prepared for 5th grade.
