Evan, 10 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Evan is a young man who brightens every room—and every basketball court—with his warmth, energy, and contagious positivity. He has a natural ability to make those around him feel welcome, whether through his encouraging words, constant support, or the big smile he brings to every game. As a teammate, Evan is caring and uplifting, always cheering others on and celebrating their successes just as enthusiastically as his own. His fun-loving spirit and kindness make time on the court enjoyable and help create a strong sense of teamwork and connection. Beyond sports, Evan carries that same compassion into his relationships, showing himself to be a thoughtful and dependable friend. Now in a loving kinship placement, Evan is surrounded by a family who truly cherishes him and recognizes the incredible light he brings into their lives. With consistent support, stability, and encouragement, he continues to grow in confidence and resilience. In this nurturing environment, Evan is thriving—learning, building meaningful connections, and embracing opportunities with optimism. His future is bright, and he continues to shine in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Evan wishes for a PlayStation gift card. With it, he can choose exactly what he wants, whether it's a new game, upgrades, or even that funny game with flying goats. Instead of having someone guess what he might like, he gets to decide for himself. Granting this wish will allow Evan to create lasting memories and spend quality time with his friends. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 2 of 2
