Omar, 14 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Omar has overcome a lot of difficulties in his life and is constantly trying to improve himself. He is trying to reinvent himself and be a kind human.

Omar has faced more challenges than most kids his age. Growing up with an incarcerated father and being raised by a hardworking single mother has been difficult for him. Despite these hardships, both he and his mother show up every day with kindness, resilience, and big hearts. To many, a football might seem small, but for Omar, it represents a chance to escape, to belong, and to dream. It’s more than just a game for him; it symbolizes hope, joy, and a reminder that he is seen, supported, and worthy of good things. He can't wait to toss around this ball with his friends.
