Nico, 10 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 06/20

Wish submitted by:

Nico is a cheerful and energetic kid who brightens up every room with his big smile. He loves sports like football, basketball, and soccer, and is always ready to jump in and play. Not only is he naturally good at sports, but he's also really curious and loves to learn new things, often impressing others with his clever questions. Nico enjoys making new friends and is always there to help anyone who needs it. With a strong heart and big dreams, he hopes to become a professional athlete one day, not just for the fame, but to inspire others and give back to his community.

Nico is a bright child who was adopted from the foster care system, but he’s been carrying the weight of early trauma. Like many kids who have faced similar challenges, he needs specialized therapy to help him understand his past and begin the healing process in a safe space. This type of therapy is vital for his emotional health and long-term recovery, but it can be quite expensive. Recently, the cost of counseling sessions with his therapist has gone up, putting a strain on Nico's mother, who is a single parent managing a fixed income. This financial support would cover three additional therapy sessions for Nico. This will allow him the time he needs to work on his narrative and engage in his Lifebook activity with his counselor. With this support, Nico can take important steps forward on his healing journey.
