Azazel, 11 years old, KS

Wish submitted by:

Azazel is one of four kids being raised by their dad. Their mom has just started to show interest in their lives after a long time away, and they spend weekends and holidays with her, but live with their dad during the week. Their dad is having a tough time keeping his girlfriends happy because he expects them to take on a "mom" role too quickly. This has left everyone feeling stressed and neglected. The kids have seen many girlfriends come and go, and they really miss having a steady female role model in their lives. Azazel, in particular, has been getting into trouble a lot this year. He needs attention and the reassurance that he is loved and valued outside of school, along with some clear rules to follow. He’s a typical boy who enjoys sports, gaming, card tricks, and art, but he struggles to take care of his things because he hasn’t had much guidance at home.

Azazel is a great kid who is working really hard on his leadership skills. He has found out through trial and error that getting into trouble just isn't as much fun as it looks, and has made great gains in turning his attitude and choices in the right direction. He would love to have a really cool zip binder to walk into middle school with to show the staff and his peers just how focused he is. He is taking steps to be successful, and having the right tools from the beginning is winning!
