Genuine, 9 years old, TX

Wish submitted by:

Genuine is a bright, kind-hearted young man who lives up to his name every day. He's been navigating life in foster care with strength, even while being separated from his siblings for the past two years. Through it all, Genuine has kept his good nature, sharp sense of humor, and a hopeful spirit that shines through in everything he does. Genuine is loyal, and deeply caring, with a natural ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether he's offering a helping hand or simply flashing that unforgettable grin, Genuine makes those around him feel seen, heard, and valued. He dreams of one day being reunited with his siblings, and above all, he hopes to find a family who will appreciate him for the wonderful young man he is, a family who can match his big heart with one of their own.

Genuine has never owned his own gaming system, but he really wants a Switch Lite. With it, he would finally have the opportunity to create his own gaming experiences on his own terms. No more waiting for a turn or borrowing someone else's device—he would have the freedom to explore his favorite games whenever he likes. This sense of ownership could greatly boost his confidence and self-esteem.
