Austin, 10 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Austin has been in several placements, with his most recent experience involving five different homes. He has faced a lot of change in his life, and one of the ways he copes with his instability and trauma is through his Nintendo Switch. Recently, his grandfather in North Carolina obtained custody of Austin and his sister, providing them with the much-needed stability of family life. In addition to video games, Austin enjoys staying active. He is a huge fan of the Buffalo Bills and the New York Mets. Austin loves watching and playing baseball, and he has dreams of playing in the NFL one day.

Austin has ADHD and has faced a great deal of trauma in his life, having been removed from his parents' custody twice. To cope with his emotions, he turns to therapy, sports, and his beloved Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, his Nintendo Switch has stopped working, leaving him devastated. At this moment, Austin has a wish: to get a new Nintendo Switch. His grandparents are unable to afford it, but having a new device would greatly help him manage his emotions while he is in the care of his grandfather in North Carolina.
