Tyler, 6 years old, MO | 53 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Taron and his two younger siblings are currently in foster care, living with a relative who is dedicated to providing them with a safe, stable, and supportive home environment. Taron is an active and energetic child who loves being outdoors. He enjoys playing soccer, riding his scooter, shooting basketball, and especially spending time on swings and playground equipment, which help him feel comfortable and emotionally balanced. Swinging has become a therapeutic outlet for him, helping him to feel calm, safe, and supported.

Taron wishes for a swing set for his home. He and his siblings are currently living with a relative who does her best to care for them, but has limited resources for toys and outdoor play. They have a large yard with plenty of space for a swing set, which would make it an ideal addition to their home. Having a swing set would help create a sense of normalcy for Taron and his siblings after experiencing significant life changes and uncertainty. A safe and engaging outdoor play space would support Taron’s healthy development, encourage physical activity, build confidence, and allow the children to create positive memories together in their current home. For Taron especially, having a place to play outside would bring joy, comfort, and a sense of stability while allowing him to simply enjoy being a kid.
