Braeden, 15 years old, NM | 9 DAYS WAITING

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 has a strong passion for staying active outdoors, and recently, he mentioned that he would love a gift card to Target. This would allow him to pick out some warmer clothes ideal for sports practice. By getting the right gear, he can ensure he's comfortable while fully enjoying his favorite activities! This is wish 2 of 2.
