Wish submitted by:

Erick is a bright and resilient boy currently living in foster care with his two siblings. He traveled from Guatemala with his mother and siblings and primarily speaks Spanish. Erick is now learning English and is working hard to build his language skills so he can make more friends at school. While the transition has been challenging at times, he continues to show growth, determination, and heart. With the support of his foster family, Erick has been improving his behavior and has formed a strong, trusting bond with them. Erick loves anything that moves—cars, trains, airplanes, and all kinds of transportation spark his imagination and joy. He has also been making great progress in school, proudly improving his grades and building confidence each day. Erick dreams big and hopes to become a race car driver one day, racing toward a future full of opportunity.

Erick dreams of owning a drone so he can explore the world from a new perspective and connect with his passion for everything that moves. Cars, trains, airplanes—anything in motion fascinates him. A drone would allow him to combine fun and learning as he watches it soar through the sky. Flying a drone would help Erick build confidence, practice focus and patience, and provide a positive outlet during a time of significant changes in his life. Plus, it would encourage his creativity and spark his imagination as he continues to learn and grow in his new environment.
