Dominic, 14 years old

Wish submitted by:

Dominic is a sweet, charming, young boy with an infectious smile. He loves to play with Lego's, puzzles, reading, basketball, soccer, being outside, swimming, and horseback riding. Dominic has a sibling who was recently adopted.

Dominic is a bright young man who has spent a lot of his childhood in a residential facility, which means he hasn’t had many chances to interact with the community. Since 2019, he’s been working hard to face the challenges in his life, and he’s now ready to move forward. He’s teamed up with a kind provider who will help him learn important life skills through community-based activities. These will include things like grocery shopping, budgeting, practicing social skills, and gaining confidence in public places. To make this journey even better, a gift card to a local store would really help Dominic. It would give him a chance to practice budgeting and making choices in a real-world setting, turning his lessons into meaningful experiences.
