Edward, 15 years old, MO | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Edward is a lively and creative young man living in a foster home. He loves cooking and is always trying out new recipes, showing how much he cares for the people around him. When he’s not in the kitchen, you can catch him playing basketball, where he shows off his energy and competitive edge. One of the best things about Edward is his imagination. He enjoys telling stories and sharing fun ideas with the other kids, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone. His caregivers believe that his creativity and storytelling skills point to a bright future ahead. With his personality, humor, and warmth, Edward leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets.

Edward loves to play games because they let him express himself and meet new people. As someone who can be a bit shy, gaming is a comfortable way for him to open up and make friends. He really enjoys getting lost in the game worlds and is especially excited about virtual reality (VR) because it offers so many cool ways to tell stories and connect with others. However, moving around a lot between different foster homes has made it hard for him to set up his own gaming space. He’s always dreamed of having a Meta Quest headset, and now that he finally has a stable home, it's the perfect time for him to get one. Having his own VR headset would not only let him dive deeper into his favorite hobby but also help him explore his creativity and connect with friends in fun new ways.
