Wish submitted by:

Xan has spent most of his life in foster care, facing a lot of instability and change. Even with these challenges, he has developed a strong resilience that helps him as he becomes an adult. Now, Xan is focused on creating a stable and independent life for himself, based on growth, responsibility, and hope. He approaches this new chapter with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Xan is kind, friendly, and thoughtful, which helps him build real connections with others. He loves tattoos and piercings, and he enjoys gaming and hanging out with friends—activities that make him feel grounded and connected. Xan is working hard to overcome the difficulties that come with growing up in care, and he is taking positive steps toward independence. With the right support, he can create a strong foundation for his future, one that is shaped by his determination and potential rather than his past.

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.
