Gavin, 16 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Gavin is full of energy and has a natural gift for making others smile. He is currently working on overcoming some personal barriers by attending therapy once a week, showing his dedication to growth and resilience. Gavin lives in a foster home with two loving caregivers, and he feels grateful to share this home with his brother by his side. In this supportive environment, Gavin is free to be himself—without pressure to change or hide who he is. Gavin admits he only somewhat enjoys school, but he especially loves his favorite subject, Art, where he can express himself creatively. Outside of school, he enjoys spending time at home and listening to music, which brings him comfort and joy.

Gavin loves cosplay because it lets him express himself and connect with a community where he feels like he belongs. He’s grateful for the hand-me-down cosplay accessories he’s received from friends, which have helped him join in and enjoy this hobby. However, he has never had the chance to pick out and buy his own cosplay accessories. He dreams of choosing pieces that show his unique style and creativity. Being able to select his own items would make him feel more proud and connected to his characters. This wish would give Gavin the opportunity to explore and create his own cosplay setup from scratch. It would be a fun and meaningful experience, allowing him to express himself even more and grow within a community that brings him happiness.
