Adon, 12 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Adon is a thoughtful and creative young person who has gone through a lot after entering foster care when his parents were arrested. Now he lives with family members and is trying to adjust to new routines and feelings that come with this change. Even though it hasn’t always been easy, Adon keeps moving forward with strength and is finding ways to understand his experiences and the world around him. To cope, Adon spends time listening to music and being outdoors. Being outside makes him feel free and calm, helping him escape from stress and reconnect with himself. Music is also important to him, as it helps him feel understood and less lonely. He also loves writing, whether it’s keeping a journal or creating his own stories. Writing allows him to express his feelings and share his journey. Through these activities, Adon is building his strength and discovering who he is despite his challenges.

Adon would love to have a Target gift card so he can pick out some new summer clothes like shorts, a swimsuit, tank tops, and T-shirts. As the weather gets warmer, he’s really hoping to refresh his wardrobe with comfortable, breathable items that match his personal style and help him feel good day-to-day. Having the ability to choose his own clothes means a lot. It gives him a sense of independence and allows him to express himself in a way that feels authentic. This is wish 1 of 2.
