Wish submitted by:

Daniel is an amazing person who loves being around others. He enjoys when someone reads to him. Although he lived in residential care for several years and hasn't seen his biological family in some time, he remains incredibly resilient. Daniel has moved in with a traditional foster family again and is working on building connections. His favorite activity is making them laugh by telling jokes and making silly faces. If there's a camera nearby, he eagerly jumps in front of it, asking for pictures and videos. He loves spending time outdoors, exploring the woods, and splashing in creeks and puddles.

Daniel has been in care for a long time and spent most of his days in residential facilities, which made him feel isolated and miss out on social activities. Last summer, he moved to a great foster home, but he had a hard time adjusting and missed many summer activities due to some behavioral issues. This year, though, he has made a lot of progress and is excited about going to summer camp. He needs extra supervision, so he can’t go to just any camp. His case manager found a perfect camp in New Hampshire, but it’s expensive. His team is trying to find funds and scholarships, and his foster family is saving money, but they still need help. Daniel would really appreciate any support to make his summer camp dreams come true!
