Kimo, 11 years old, CA | 21 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kimo is a smart, witty young person in foster care who has maintained strong grades despite challenges this year, showing resilience and a real commitment to his education. He is especially interested in history and is currently learning about early civilizations like Ancient Egypt. He enjoys learning about how pyramids were built, the role of pharaohs, and how hieroglyphics were used for communication. Kimo likes discussing these topics and often brings humor and curiosity into conversations, asking thoughtful questions and making connections between the past and present. He gets along well with peers and adults. While he can be cautious at first, he opens up when he feels safe and supported. Kimo shows strong academic and social potential and continues to benefit from encouragement, stability, and opportunities to explore his interests.

Kimo would love an H&M gift card so he can shop for his own clothes as the weather gets warmer. Being able to visit the store, try things on, and choose styles he likes would give him a sense of independence and confidence. He would like to pick out shorts and t-shirts for school and everyday wear, especially in his favorite colors, green and blue. This would also give him a chance to express his personality and feel comfortable in his clothing, which is especially meaningful given the challenges he has faced. This is wish 2 of 2.
