Christopher, 14 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Chris has been involved in foster care since the COVID era and experienced multiple home placements that brought added instability and trauma before settling into his current resource home in 2022. His journey has not been easy, and permanency has remained a challenge. Despite this, Chris continues to show resilience and has found confidence, discipline, and joy through sports. A dedicated and talented athlete, he excelled in both football and lacrosse during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 seasons, reaching milestones that reflect not only his ability but also his determination and leadership. Chris hopes to one day be adopted by his current resource parent, gaining the stability and belonging he deserves.

Football gloves are particularly important for Chris because having properly fitting equipment is essential for safe play and optimal performance. Gloves that fit correctly enhance grip, ball control, comfort, and confidence on the field. In contrast, gloves that are too small or too loose can be distracting and less effective. As someone who is passionate about football, having quality gear that fits well will support Chris in developing his skills, staying engaged in a positive activity, and taking pride in the sport he loves.
