Johnson, 10 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Johnson and his siblings were removed from their home due to terrible living conditions, domestic violence, and parental substance abuse. As a result, he has missed a significant amount of school and is behind academically, which has been a challenge for him. Despite these difficulties, he is a sweet boy who tries hard to fit in and make friends. However, it can be challenging for him because he doesn’t always have clean clothes or good attendance. Now that he is in his great aunt's care, he hopes for a fresh start, allowing him to build new friendships and gain confidence. He enjoys building things and playing video games.

Johnson is getting ready for surgery to fix a heart issue that doctors recently discovered, and he's feeling pretty anxious about spending at least a week in the hospital. It’s especially tough for him to think about being away from his brother, as they've never been apart for more than a few hours. They love playing Fortnite together, and Johnson is hoping to set up a way to stay connected through the game. Being able to share those moments would really lift his spirits during this stressful time.
