Luke, 11 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 09/12

Wish submitted by:

Luke is a remarkable young man who was born a twin to a mother struggling with addiction. He and his brother were born prematurely and faced several challenges, including a learning disability. However, Luke has shown great resilience. After spending years in foster care, he is on track to be adopted by a loving couple. Luke loves sports and enjoys playing video games that involve tasks and racing, which help him improve his skills and have fun.

As Luke prepares to start school soon, he is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. He loves sports and is eager to join a football team, where he can develop his skills and make new friends. A sturdy backpack would greatly assist him by allowing him to carry his school books and also his football uniform on practice days. His foster parents are dedicated to his well-being, but they currently lack the funds for essential items like a backpack. Providing him with one would not only make his school experience more manageable but also instill a sense of pride as he approaches this new chapter in his life.
