Nik, 10 years old, ME | 11 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 gaming chair—not for gaming, but to use at his new desk. He plans to use the desk to build Legos, store his completed creations, and draw during quiet time. He was able to clearly describe the kind of chair he wanted, including that he prefers a red one. Nik and his foster parents looked together on Amazon, and he picked out this chair himself.
