Jackson, 12 years old, OH | 26 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

The Buckeye Ranch

After spending time in foster care, Jackson was adopted by his paternal aunt and uncle. He struggles with his biracial identity and often faces teasing from other children his age, which affects how he interacts with others. This has made it challenging for him to form lasting relationships with his peers. Jackson and his family are active members of their church, participating in various community and church-related activities.

Jackson really wants a new bike because his old one has stopped working properly, and his parents can’t afford to repair it. A new bicycle would not only give him a sense of freedom but also help him develop self-regulation. With a new bike, Jackson could explore the outdoors, providing him with a sense of peace and joy.
