Mateo, 6 years old, CA | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Mateo is full of curiosity, joy, and a vivid imagination. Currently in foster care, he is learning to navigate new environments with bravery and resilience beyond his years. Despite the changes he has experienced, Mateo brings energy into every room with his bright smile and playful spirit, always eager to explore the world around him. He enjoys learning through play—whether he's building, pretending, or asking thoughtful questions about his surroundings. Mateo loves staying active, running outside, and creating his own little adventures. He has a kind heart and enjoys sharing laughs with those around him, especially when he feels safe and encouraged. Although he may be shy at times, once he feels comfortable, his silly and loving personality truly shines.

Mateo wants a food container that can keep his meals warm for school. He is asking for this because he would like to bring hot meals from home, but he doesn't have a container that keeps food warm. Having such a container would enhance his lunchtime experience at school. It would allow Mateo to enjoy warm food during the day, feel more comfortable, and have better lunches while he learns.
