Brandon, 14 years old, MO |

Wish submitted by:

Brandon is a typical teen with a big heart and a love for staying active. He enjoys anything involving sports, building things with his hands, and spending time outdoors. Whether he’s shooting hoops, putting together projects, or exploring outside, Brandon is happiest when he’s moving, creating, and learning new skills. His foster care journey has been tough since he was very young, and he’s had to grow up faster than most kids his age. Even with the challenges he’s faced, Brandon continues to show strength, resilience, and a determination to keep going. He tries hard to stay positive and focuses on the activities that make him feel grounded and confident. Brandon is a hardworking, capable teen who deserves stability, encouragement, and opportunities that help him shine. His interests, energy, and spirit make him a remarkable young man who continues to push forward despite everything he’s been through.

Brandon wishes for a Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card because he could really use new clothes that match his active lifestyle. As a teen who loves sports, the outdoors, and staying on the move, he needs athletic wear that’s comfortable, durable, and fits him well. A gift card would let him pick out exactly what he needs, whether it’s shorts, shirts, hoodies, or gear that helps him feel confident and prepared. Because Brandon has been in foster care since he was young, he hasn’t always had the chance to choose his own clothes or get items that fit his style. Being able to shop for himself at Dick’s Sporting Goods would give him a sense of independence and pride. It would also allow him to pick clothing that supports the activities he loves, helping him feel more comfortable and included.
