Adam S, 11 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Adam is a smart and caring individual who has faced significant family dysfunction since he was a toddler. He has finally taken a positive step forward by pursuing adoption with a family member. Despite his emotional struggles resulting from family issues, Adam has made enough progress to move to a lower level of care. At school, he is recognized as both intelligent and friendly. He is protective and loving toward his younger siblings. Adam has shown a keen interest in animals and often takes care of the neighborhood cats by feeding and playing with them. Plus, he is very active and enjoys participating in all sports, with a particular passion for soccer.

Adam has been wishing for a pair of Dragon Ball Z Crocs, a nod to the beloved cartoon he used to watch with his father. Unfortunately, they have lost touch over the past year, creating a void in his life. As he embarks on his permanent plan towards adoption with a loving family, Adam seeks reminders of his father, objects that will keep their bond alive. The Crocs symbolize a way for him to "walk" with his dad, carrying cherished memories with him wherever he goes.
