Troy, 17 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 07/31

Wish submitted by:

Troy faced more challenges than most kids growing up. He moved between juvenile detention centers and foster homes, never feeling settled. His difficult childhood left him to navigate life mostly on his own, but he discovered two passions that give him purpose: football and dirt biking. Football provided Troy with an outlet and a sense of belonging, while the thrill of dirt biking helped clear his mind and made him feel alive. Both activities offered him structure and a way to escape his tough reality. Despite his rough start, Troy remains hopeful that his love for these sports can lead to a better future.

Troy is asking for a pair of AirPods for his birthday because he loves listening to music—it helps him relax, stay focused, and escape from the stress of everyday life. Whether he’s out riding his dirt bike, training for football, or just trying to unwind, music plays a big role in keeping him grounded. Having a pair of AirPods would make it easier for him to enjoy his favorite songs without the hassle of tangled wires or bulky headphones. It’s something he’s been wanting for a while, and getting them would mean a lot to him.
