Andres, 12 years old, NM |

Wish submitted by:

Andres is an energetic and responsible individual with a passion for music, the outdoors, and exploring electronics. Throughout his foster care journey, he has faced significant challenges during his years in state custody, experiencing numerous placements that led to the loss of important family connections and an overwhelming amount of change. Despite these hardships, he continues to show kindness and a willingness to help others. Although naturally shy, Andres is gradually finding safety and acceptance with his foster family, allowing him to open up and embrace the possibilities of his new life as he transitions toward adoption.

Andres is thrilled to finally start playing basketball, something he has always dreamed of but never had the opportunity to do. As he prepares for his first practices, he finds himself wanting a pair of Nike pants to wear, feeling that they would help him feel more confident and ready to hit the court.
