Cayden, 12 years old, NC

Wish submitted by:

Cayden has been in YFS custody since January 2025 and has been embracing new experiences and opportunities. He is an avid reader who spent the past summer trying new activities, including sleepaway camp, swimming, baseball, and exploring new places with his foster parents. He has made friends in his neighborhood and is now well settled in school. Cayden also loves the dogs in his foster home and enjoys getting to know the chickens and collecting their eggs! After previously taking on the responsibility of caring for his younger siblings, Cayden is beginning to enjoy simply being a kid, making time to play, relax, and let his guard down. He is a thoughtful planner with big dreams for his future, hoping to become a meteorologist. He has even started thinking ahead about college and finances, sharing that he wants to attend community college to avoid starting his adult life with student debt.

Cayden has developed an interest in remote control toys, and he finds this car really cool. Since he enjoys playing Minecraft and ROBLOX, getting him involved with something tangible like this toy is a great way to reduce screen time while still keeping him engaged. He specifically likes Lamborghinis and bright colors, so this toy is perfect for him and will definitely excite him.
