Elliot, 10 years old, NJ | 5 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Elliot is a typical boy who loves adventure! He enjoys playing in the dirt, wrestling, hiking, riding his bike, and playing racing video games. Some of his favorite characters include those from Star Wars, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He has a wild spirit but is truly a sweetheart once you get to know him. Elliot entered care at the age of five and has grown significantly since then!

Elliot's adoptive mom has told him that he needs to demonstrate his commitment to playing a sport before she signs him up for another one. However, the only time Elliot is available to practice is when it’s already dark outside. He has some outdoor lights, but they make it difficult to see the ball clearly. Elliot hopes that using a glow-in-the-dark basketball will improve his skills and show his mom that he is ready to sign up for basketball.
