Adrian, 15 years old, IN

Wish submitted by:

Adrian is a thoughtful and polite young man who cares deeply about the people around him. He is fiercely protective of his family and carries a quiet strength that shines through even after everything he has experienced. Living with ADHD can make some days feel overwhelming, yet Adrian meets the world with determination and a big heart. After time in foster care and facing the heartbreak of a recent house fire, he continues to show resilience and hope for brighter days ahead. Adrian receives support from CASA Indiana.

Adrian is learning how to cook and is excited to become more independent in the kitchen. After the fire forced his family to throw away so many household items, even simple tools for cooking had to be replaced. For Adrian, having his own kitchen essentials would make him feel capable and included as he helps prepare meals for his family. Cooking gives him a positive outlet for his energy and a way to show love through action.
