Wish submitted by:

Daymeian is a kind and creative little boy in kinship care who has faced many challenges at a young age. He loves building and using his imagination, especially with his favorite colors, red and orange. These creative moments help boost his confidence and pride. Although he is working to catch up academically and emotionally, his resilience and eagerness to learn shine through when he has the right support. He thrives in a caring and consistent environment, which his current home provides. This nurturing atmosphere has already made a positive impact on him, helping him feel safe and valued. Daymeian is also a loving big brother who takes pride in caring for his siblings. He is gentle and thoughtful, needing love, guidance, and stability to reach his potential. With the strong support system he has now, Daymeian is on a promising path to show just how amazing he really is.

Daymeian is currently working to catch up in his reading skills, as he is in second grade but reading at a kindergarten level. This gap has been frustrating for him at times, especially since traditional reading instruction and worksheets do not hold his attention for long. He learns best when lessons are interactive, engaging, and allow him to explore at his own pace, which is why finding the right tools is so important for his success. This tablet would provide Daymeian with fun and creative ways to strengthen his reading skills without the pressure that often comes with more traditional approaches. It includes opportunities to listen to stories while following along with the text, practice letter sounds and sight words, and build comprehension through games and interactive activities. These features help make reading feel less like a chore and more like an enjoyable experience, which can greatly boost his confidence and motivation.
