Nik, 10 years old, ME | 12 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Nik is a curious boy living in a foster placement. He enjoys creating things with Legos, drawing in his journal, and engaging in arts and crafts. Nik loves being outdoors, whether he’s riding his bike or exploring his new backyard, which includes a farm with many animals. He likes researching various aspects of his environment and investigating how things work. Nik is adapting to life in a low-tech home and finding alternative ways to occupy his time. He has moved between several foster homes, most recently changing homes three times within just a few months. The staff at his school became specially licensed to support him when they learned he needed to switch homes. Both of his parents have maintained a strong relationship with Nik, making the transition to a new home less stressful for everyone involved.

Nik would like a desk like the one his foster siblings have, since his bedroom did not come with one. He has already started rearranging his room to make space for it. He would use the desk to build his Legos, store completed sets, and draw during quiet time. Having a desk would give him a dedicated space for creativity, organization, and calm activities in his room.
