Troy, 17 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Troy faced more challenges than most kids growing up. He moved between juvenile detention centers and foster homes, never feeling settled. His difficult childhood left him to navigate life mostly on his own, but he discovered two passions that give him purpose: football and dirt biking. Football provided Troy with an outlet and a sense of belonging, while the thrill of dirt biking helped clear his mind and made him feel alive. Both activities offered him structure and a way to escape his tough reality. Despite his rough start, Troy remains hopeful that his love for these sports can lead to a better future.

Troy has been hoping to get a 12-month Xbox Game Pass subscription, and he’s really excited about the idea. He loves gaming and talks about all the different titles he’d be able to explore, from new releases to classic favorites. For him, Game Pass isn’t just about playing games — it’s about discovering new worlds, challenging himself with different types of gameplay, and connecting with friends online. Having a full year of access would give him something fun to look forward to all year long, and he’s already imagining the many adventures he’ll get to jump into.
