South Florida Wellness Network

Nicole is a caring young lady who is learning to navigate her foster care journey with courage, even when her world has felt uncertain. She has a calming presence and a gentle kindness that makes people feel safe and seen. Despite the challenges she has faced, Nicole continues to hold onto hope and leans into the things that bring her peace, especially music, gaming, and spending time with people she loves. Being separated from her siblings has been one of the hardest parts of her journey, but she is determined to keep those bonds strong and never let distance weaken their connection. Nicole is thoughtful, loyal, and deeply family-oriented, and she dreams of building a stable future where she and her siblings can be close again. Through it all, she continues to show bravery, heart, and a quiet strength that inspires the people around her.

Nicole wishes for an Xbox gift card so she can continue playing online with her siblings, who now live in another state. Gaming has become their special way of staying close, giving them time to laugh, talk, and feel like they’re still growing up together, even when they're far apart. With this gift card, Nicole will be able to download new games and features that keep their time together fun and exciting. These moments mean everything to her; they help her feel less alone and remind her that her family bond is still strong, no matter the distance. After long or emotional days, logging on to play with her siblings brings her comfort, connection, and a sense of home. Having something positive to look forward to makes a big difference, and this wish would give Nicole joy, support, and awesome memories.
