Diego, 8 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Diego is a resilient and thoughtful young person with a big heart. Since entering foster care, he has experienced three different placements, each shaping his strength and adaptability. Now, he’s with a foster family working toward adoption, and he’s finally starting to feel safe, supported, and at home. Diego loves basketball and is excited to join the school team this year. He’s active, motivated, and thrives when he’s part of a team. He also enjoys drawing, video games, and building with Legos. His creativity and problem-solving skills shine through in everything he does.

Diego is asking for a sports backpack to carry his basketball gear and school supplies. As he prepares for a new school year and his first season on the basketball team, having a durable, organized bag would help him stay prepared and feel proud. This backpack would support his growing independence and his excitement for school and sports.
