Andrew, 12 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Andrew is currently in the guardianship of his aunt. Although Andrew dreams of one day being reunited with his father, he is making the most of his situation. Andrew loves his siblings and cares for them, but he has a need to protect them. He is confident in who he is and has dreams of becoming a gamer when he grows up. Andrew has been through a lot in his short life but is still happy and sees the best in every situation.

Andrew would love a wall decal with inspirational quotes to hang in his personal space. As the eldest sibling and only boy, he has been navigating a very emotional season as his younger sister has faced serious health challenges. Seeing her so sick and going through such a frightening medical crisis was deeply scary for him, and it has left a lasting emotional impact. While Andrew continues to be strong for his family, this experience has been heavy, and he is still processing everything he has witnessed and felt. Having encouraging and uplifting words displayed in his room would give Andrew something steady to look at during difficult moments. Inspirational quotes can serve as reminders of strength, hope, and perseverance as he continues to navigate this season.
