Jacob, 15 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Jacob is a kind and sweet boy who is extremely resilient and often takes on a caretaker role within his family. Although he is not currently living with all of his siblings, he does everything he can to make sure they are doing well.

Jacob experiences big emotions and sometimes becomes angry, struggling to find the words to express his feelings. He has requested a stand-up punching bag to help manage and release these emotions in a healthy way. Jacob also has difficulty focusing on his homework because thoughts about his past trauma can be overwhelming. Using the punching bag would give him a constructive outlet for his emotions, helping him calm down and redirect his energy. This would allow him to focus better and complete his homework while supporting his emotional well-being.
