Benjamin, 14 years old, PA | 12 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 08/14

Wish submitted by:

Ben was placed in foster care after being exposed to violence and is currently living with a family member through a kinship arrangement. He is very athletic and excels academically. Ben has adjusted well to the changes in his life, showing few signs of trauma. He remains active in various sports and enjoys hunting, riding dirt bikes, and swimming.

Ben has always had a strong interest in being a mechanic. At his family's garage, he enjoys building things, taking them apart, and putting them back together. Recently, he has become interested in buying his own truck to work on until he is able to drive. Having a project to focus on will not only enhance his skills but also fuel his passion for mechanics. Ben would also love to have his own welding kit for his birthday so that he can use it to build and customize his future truck, allowing him to create something truly unique.
