Zion, 9 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 10/31

Wish submitted by:

Zion is lively and brings energy to the field when he plays football or soccer. Whether he’s throwing the ball around in the backyard or practicing at the park, he loves being active and having fun. Sports help him burn off energy and feel good about himself while making friends. He's naturally athletic and works hard to improve his skills. As the oldest sibling, Zion feels a strong responsibility to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. His desire to protect them comes from his experiences growing up, which included some tough times before being adopted by his older cousin and their partner. Even though his new home is loving and stable, Zion sometimes struggles to relax, feeling like he always has to be strong. He’s learning that it’s okay to ask for help, share his feelings, and trust others to support him.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Zion with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
