Kody M, 13 years old, KS | NEEDED BY 05/29

Wish submitted by:

Kody is a resilient and thoughtful kid who carries more on his shoulders than most people realize. While he struggles with anger and depression, those challenges don’t define him—they highlight how deeply he feels and how much he cares. Kody has a strong inner world and tends to experience emotions intensely, which can be hard to manage without the right tools, but it also makes him empathetic, intuitive, and self-aware beyond his years. He does his best to push through each day, even when things feel heavy, and that quiet perseverance speaks to his strength. Kody is special because he keeps showing up, even when he doesn’t have many coping resources in place, and with the right support, he has the potential to turn his emotions into a source of calm, creativity, and personal growth.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Kody with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
