Kaine, 13 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Kaine is a resilient young man who has faced significant challenges in his life. He has experienced his mother’s struggles with addiction, which led to him spending time in foster care. Later, his father gained custody of him, but tragically passed away by suicide in 2020, leaving Kaine to be raised by his elderly grandmother alongside his sister. Despite dealing with trauma, depression, and behavioral struggles, Kaine is a good kid who is working with a team of service providers to navigate his emotions and build a healthier future. In his free time, he finds comfort in music and video games, which provide him with joy and a sense of normalcy.

Kaine is growing quickly and needs shoes, clothes, and undergarments suitable for teens. This Christmas, he is asking for a gift card so he can purchase his own items without any issues or hassles. Having the freedom to choose what he needs will help Kaine feel more comfortable, support his self-confidence, and positively impact his mental health. This gift would provide both practical support and emotional encouragement during the holiday season. This is wish 2 of 2.
