Waylon, 6 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Waylon is a special little guy in foster care with a heart of gold, full of energy and enthusiasm for outdoor adventures. He has a deep affection for his four siblings, particularly his younger sister, showing a nurturing and caring nature. While he has speech delays that make communication outside the family challenging, he easily connects with his loved ones. Currently receiving speech therapy at school once a week, Waylon's resilience shines through, and his wonderful sense of humor brings joy to those around him.

Waylon has older siblings in his foster home who love to skateboard. They often encourage him to try riding on their boards, but since the boards are too big, it can be a little scary for him. Waylon is an adventurous little guy with a big desire to learn, and he would love to have a skateboard that’s just his size. Receiving this wish would mean so much to Waylon. Having his own skateboard would allow him to learn and practice safely, while also joining in on the fun with his siblings. It would help him feel included and give him a real sense of belonging as he learns alongside them. This skateboard would not only bring him joy but also help him build confidence, coordination, and lasting memories with his foster family.
