Wish submitted by:

Department of Health and Human Services- Nebraska

Brayden is an active young man who loves wrestling and is quite skilled at it. His teachers appreciate him, and he has made new friends. Brayden has been away from home for some time due to false allegations made by his mother, which resulted in him entering foster care. Now, he is in his second foster home and hopes not to have to leave it. While dealing with trust issues and fear of the unknown, Brayden remains optimistic about the future. He is considering a career in the military or studying to work on diesel engines. In his free time, Brayden enjoys spending time outdoors, hanging out with his friends, and driving around whenever he gets the chance.

Brayden has never had much in his life, especially compared to his siblings. Despite having several brothers and sisters, he is the only one in foster care. He often dreams of the freedom to plug in some music and run to his heart's content. The simple joy of running, accompanied by his favorite tunes, feels like an escape he longs for.
