Pharrell has been really strong during his time in care. He doesn’t have many natural supports and sometimes finds it hard to connect with others. But despite these challenges, he is learning every day how to overcome obstacles and trust people again. What makes him really special is his vibrant personality; everyone who meets him is attracted to his warmth, kindness, and joyful spirit.

For Pharrell, looking his best is a priority, especially during the holiday season. This year, he wishes for a Nike gift card to choose from a variety of Nike apparel, including sweatpants, shirts, and socks. A gift card would offer him the flexibility to select weather-appropriate items like jackets and sweaters as well. Being able to pick his own clothing not only ensures comfort and a proper fit but also supports age-appropriate self-expression, which is particularly important during adolescence. This is wish 2 of 2.
