Michael, 16 years old, RI | 10 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Michael is a polite and engaging young person who entered foster care after spending several years in residential treatment programs. He has a great sense of humor and enjoys making others laugh, especially his foster mother. In his free time, Michael likes to play video games, ride his bike, and participate in an advocacy group for children in care. He hopes to begin looking for jobs in his community to start earning money, and he has already begun saving what he has earned so far!

Michael has been looking forward to a trip to the movies, hoping to enjoy some one-on-one time with his foster mother. While he cherishes the moments spent with his foster brothers and loves the sense of family they share, he yearns for a special activity that allows him to connect more deeply with her. Their relationship is close, but Michael often finds it difficult to express his feelings. He believes that going to the movies together could be the perfect opportunity to strengthen their bond.
