Wish submitted by:

Xan has spent most of his life in foster care, navigating instability, fear, and constant change. Despite the challenges he has faced, Xan has held onto a deep resilience that continues to guide him into adulthood. Today, he is determined to build a stable, independent life for himself—one grounded in growth, responsibility, and hope. Now newly stepping into adulthood, Xan is doing his best to navigate this next chapter with openness and a willingness to learn. He is kind, friendly, and thoughtful, often forming genuine connections with those around him. His creativity shines through his love for tattoos and piercings, and he finds joy in gaming and spending time with friends—activities that help him feel grounded and connected. Xan is working hard to overcome the barriers that come with growing up in care, and he is taking meaningful steps toward independence. With continued support, he can build the strong foundation he deserves as he creates a future defined not by his past, but by his determination and potential.

Xan wishes for a new gaming desk to create a dedicated space for one of the hobbies that brings him the most joy. Gaming is more than entertainment for Xan—it is a creative outlet and a way to connect with friends, decompress after stressful days, and feel like a regular young adult. Having a proper desk would allow him to set up his system safely and comfortably, helping him engage in something that makes him feel confident and grounded. With so much of his life spent navigating instability, this desk would give him a space of his own where he can relax, express himself, and enjoy a sense of normalcy. Supporting this wish would bring Xan comfort, happiness, and a meaningful boost as he continues learning how to build a stable adult life.
