Robert, 11 years old

Wish submitted by:

Robert is a creative young man who recently entered foster care after being removed from his home due to neglect and abuse. As the oldest of four siblings, he has faced significant challenges in his life. Robert struggles with some health conditions that contribute to his being underweight for his age. He also has a learning disability and an anxiety disorder, which can make navigating life a bit more difficult for him. Despite these challenges, Robert has a passion for sports, particularly basketball and football, and he enjoys dancing. He is shy by nature, but his fantastic smile reveals a spark of joy that shines through. Robert is determined to overcome his obstacles and find happiness in his new situation.

Robert was placed in care on May 19, 2025, and he entered foster care with very few belongings. He is in desperate need of essential clothing items, including shirts, shoes, socks, and undergarments. This transition has been tough for him and his brother, and granting this wish may lift his spirits a little during this challenging time. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful shopping trip. This is wish 1 of 2.
