Nikko entered foster care due to severe substance use and mental health problems in the family. This was incredibly difficult for Nikko, and he was placed with his current adoptive mother's home around the same time. Fortunately, it was an instant match, and he gets to spend the rest of his childhood in a loving and stable environment. Nikko absolutely loves his school. wants to play on a football team. His dream is to attend college and play, and then maybe one day pursue a career in the NFL.

Nikko will celebrate his birthday with his adoptive family, marking a special occasion as it is his first birthday since being adopted. To make the day even more exciting, he wished for an iPad so he could complete school work and keep up with the latest NFL games and scores! Having an iPad for his birthday would mean the world to Nikko, as it would help him stay organized with his school assignments and connect with friends. He can’t wait to explore new apps and games while also being able to stream the latest NFL games with his family.
