Nate, 12 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Nate loves all types of sports. He has several siblings, but they are all currently placed in separate homes. His current caregiver is great, and she helps facilitate visitation between the siblings as often as possible. Nate lost his father a couple years ago and his mother has not been present in his life for many years. He is a resilient child who enjoys video games, spending time with his friends, and eating candy. Nate can be quiet and reserved until he is comfortable with the person he has just met. He likes to talk about things going on in his life, as long as it is not something he got in trouble doing i.e. eating a whole plate of brownies. He has two dogs and a cat that he cares for with his caregiver.

Nate recently moved with his guardian to a new apartment after their previous building was infested with rats, mice, and cockroaches. They were also informed that mold was present throughout the complex, so they are essentially starting over in a safe, clean space. Nate currently does not have a bed or bedding for his new room. He would be thrilled to receive a new twin bedding set so he can enjoy a comfortable and restful night’s sleep. This gift would help him feel settled and supported in his new home.
