Tyler, 18 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Tyler is a resilient young man who has grown through the challenges of foster care, maintaining an optimistic outlook and a caring nature. He enjoys playing video games like Minecraft and Fortnite, often while listening to his own music, which serves as his creative outlet. After graduation, Tyler plans to join the army to serve his country and make a difference. He values quality time with his younger foster siblings, whether swimming or having fun at the trampoline park. On weekends, he finds solace in nature through camping and fishing, showcasing his strong sense of purpose and bright future.

Tyler wishes for a gift card to Academy Sports so he can choose some new clothes for himself. Growing up, he hasn’t always had the opportunity to select his own things, and he would love to find clothing that makes him feel confident and comfortable. Tyler enjoys spending time outdoors and staying active, so being able to pick out what he needs from a store like Academy Sports would mean a lot to him. This gift would not only provide him with new clothes but also give him a sense of independence and pride in making choices for himself. This is wish 1 of 2.
