Benjamin, 16 years old, AZ |

Wish submitted by:

Benjamin has faced a challenging foster care journey, yet he continues to show strong resilience and a steady determination to move forward. He’s thoughtful, respectful, and has a calm presence that makes others feel comfortable around him. Even when circumstances have been difficult, he works hard to stay focused on his goals and maintain a positive mindset. He previously attended La Jolla High School, where he enjoyed hands-on learning and activities that allowed him to stay engaged and active. Benjamin is curious by nature and likes exploring new interests, whether it’s trying out a new hobby, learning something different, or finding ways to express his creativity. He’s known for being cooperative, kind, and someone who quietly looks out for the people around him. What makes Benjamin special is his determination to grow, his willingness to take on new opportunities, and the hope he carries for a brighter future. His wish reflects not just something he would love, but a meaningful step forward in recognizing his hard work and the strength he’s shown along the way.

Benjamin has always enjoyed activities that let him work with his hands and use his imagination. Building is one of the ways he stays focused, calm, and engaged, especially during stressful moments in his foster care journey. A LEGO set would give him something positive to look forward to and a creative outlet he can enjoy on his own. It would help him unwind, stay occupied in a healthy way, and give him a sense of accomplishment as he completes each build. This wish would bring him excitement, comfort, and something that truly reflects his interests.
