Braeden, 16 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Braeden entered foster care several years ago and struggled with being away from his family for an extended period. During this challenging time, he felt lost, particularly as he tried to find his identity as a young teenager. However, Braeden has spent a significant amount of time in therapy, discovering positive coping strategies to help him through this difficult period. He developed a passion for sports and participates in football, wrestling, and baseball. Braeden enjoys going to school and has a particular interest in math and science. In his spare time, he loves playing video games. Plus, Braeden has found a sense of belonging at church; he attends regularly and is active in the youth group.

Braeden is passionate about staying active in sports and works diligently to maintain his grades while participating in both school and club activities. With his busy schedule, he cherishes the little spare time he has to unwind and enjoy video games. Recently, Braeden has been dreaming of getting a Nintendo Switch, as it would allow him to play games and connect with friends online. Imagine how happy he would be to finally have a Switch, providing him with the perfect way to relax while keeping himself entertained!
