Nicholi, 8 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Nicholi is a very protective big brother. He is the oldest of 5 children and has always tried to stand up for their safety. His mom has experienced episodes of mental health challenges, which have led to very scary situations, and led to the removal of Nicholi and his siblings from her home. He hasn't had the chance to participate in sports or clubs at school, but he hopes to try out flag football or basketball to be with friends.

Nicholi would love to have a basketball hoop as a place to go when he needs to process his thoughts. He is passionate about sports, and having this hoop outside would allow him to practice while also working through the difficult emotions he is experiencing after being removed from his mom's care.
