Leo H, 11 years old, CA | 11 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Leo is a great kid who has faced some tough challenges in life. His father passed away, and his mother struggled with addiction, leading to her being homeless for some time. During those years, Leo lived with his grandparents, but the good news is that they are now back together. His mother has been sober for several years and is working hard to rebuild their lives. Despite the difficulties he has faced, Leo is full of big dreams and aspirations. However, he often finds himself held back by financial constraints, unable to enjoy the things that many kids take for granted, like video games and expensive sports equipment.

An electric scooter would be a life-changing gift for Leo because it provides him with a reliable and fun way to ride to and from school every day, turning a tiring walk into an easier commute. After the immense instability of losing his father and experiencing his mother’s journey through addiction, this scooter serves as a powerful reward for his resilience and a symbol of the stable, new chapter his family is building. By having this, Leo can finally feel like his peers and overcome the financial constraints that have previously kept him from enjoying the childhood experiences he dreams about.
