Christopher, 14 years old, NJ | 17 DAYS WAITING

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.

Lacrosse gloves are particularly important for Chris because properly fitting protective equipment is crucial for both safety and performance. Gloves that fit well help protect his hands during contact, enhance grip and stick control, and provide better comfort and mobility during practices and games. Wearing gloves that are worn out or the wrong size can hinder performance and create distractions on the field. Since lacrosse is one of Chris’s passions, having high-quality gloves that fit properly would help him build confidence, develop his skills, and stay connected to a positive and meaningful sport.
