Connor, 11 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Connor is a talented young man who does well in school and is a key player on an undefeated football team. He regularly makes the honor roll without needing to study much. What makes him special to his coach and peers is how he overcomes difficult situations in his life and inspires others with his passion for football. His favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, motivates him and adds to his love for the game. Along with playing football, he likes to read about it and play video games. Despite his skills and determination, Connor faces tough challenges at home. His father is in prison, and his mother struggles with addiction, which has led to him living with different relatives. Right now, Connor stays with a family friend who wants to foster him and believes in his potential. For Connor, football gives him a safe space and the guidance of coaches who act like father figures. With the right support, Connor has a chance to do amazing things, showing his strength and resilience.

Connor urgently needs under shorts, as he lacks essential personal items. These under shorts are crucial for his comfort and safety while playing football, as they allow him to focus on the game without distractions. Having the ability to switch between two pairs would ensure that he is always prepared for practices or games. Granting this request would not only meet a basic need but also provide Connor with the support and encouragement he deserves as he continues to pursue his dreams. Supplying him with these under shorts would send a strong message that he is valued and supported in his journey.
