Alex, 12 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 10/03

Wish submitted by:

Alex is an energetic boy who loves all kinds of sports and is very competitive. He enjoys playing sports, watching sports, and discussing sports—it's all sports, all day for him! In addition to that, he has a passion for action figures. As one of the middle children in his foster family of six, he is always seeking out fun. Boredom is something he cannot tolerate for long, so he constantly looks for activities to keep him entertained. Whether it's climbing a tree, racing his brother, playing tag, going for a bike ride, or participating in any other fun activity, Alex is a true creator of fun!

Alex has always had a passion for organized sports, and his adoptive mom thought that joining a football team would be a good way to humble his cocky nature. However, she quickly realized she had underestimated him! Alex turned out to be one of the best players on his team. With his speed, agility, and determination, he’s been working hard to improve his skills as a wide receiver, focusing on catching passes and dodging defenders. Just yesterday, Alex experienced his first cold football practice, which made him acutely aware of how important it is to have a proper base layer as the weather starts to dip. He would really appreciate any assistance in getting the right gear, especially since his mom is a single parent who has already spent a lot on registration fees and essential supplies.
