Wish submitted by:

Peter’s journey through kinship foster care has been shaped by both challenges and the comforting presence of family. Being cared for by relatives has provided Peter with a unique sense of belonging and connection, even as he navigates the complexities of change and growth. This experience has helped Peter develop resilience, gratitude, and a strong sense of loyalty to those who support him. Peter has a passion for shoes and anime, two interests that reflect his creativity and personal style. Shoes are more than just footwear for Peter; they are a form of self-expression and confidence. Whether it’s discovering the latest styles or collecting his favorites, shoes inspire him and allow him to showcase his individuality. Anime offers Peter a window into imaginative worlds full of adventure, emotion, and friendship. It serves as both entertainment and a source of comfort, helping him process his feelings and connect with stories that celebrate courage and perseverance. Peter's kinship care experience has instilled in him a deep appreciation for family and support, while his hobbies reveal a youthful enthusiasm and curiosity.

Peter is requesting undershirts and socks because having clean, comfortable basics is essential to his daily well-being and confidence. As a young person impacted by kinship foster care, consistent access to quality clothing essentials has not always been guaranteed. Being able to wear fresh undershirts and socks helps Peter maintain personal hygiene, feel comfortable throughout the day, and focus on school and activities without distraction. This wish supports Peter’s sense of stability and self-care by providing foundational items that contribute to his comfort and confidence. Having access to these essentials reduces stress and helps him build positive routines as he continues moving forward. Granting this wish would affirm that Peter deserves to feel cared for, prepared, and empowered in his everyday life.
