Wish submitted by:

Nerek is the oldest of four siblings. He loves being the oldest and does a great job setting a good example for all of his siblings. Nerek enjoys school and does his best in everything that he sets his mind to. He enjoys being with his friends and sometimes struggles with staying focused and motivating himself when he is working independently. Nerek is a very good kid who is going to go on to do very awesome things! Nerek enjoys playing outside when it is nice and sunny out and also really enjoys reading. Nerek's favorite food is chicken fingers and fries. He says his favorite place to get chicken fingers and fries is at baseball games. Nerek, his brothers, and his resource dad have been going to baseball games in the spring and summer since the boys have been placed in their current resource placement, almost 2 years ago. Nerek's current resource parents are looking to adopt the boys which they are very happy about.

Nerek has been learning how to cook and has enjoyed trying out new recipes in the kitchen. He takes pride in preparing meals and is always excited to test out different dishes. One of his favorite things is sharing a meal with his younger sibling, as spending quality time together is very important to him. Nerek and his sibling also enjoy watching baseball and cheering on their favorite teams. Whether they are watching a game at home or talking about the latest plays, baseball has become a special way for them to connect and make lasting memories together. For one of the upcoming games, Nerek would love to host a cookout for his siblings and resource parents. He is excited about the opportunity to prepare food, enjoy a great meal with the people he cares about most, and spend an afternoon watching baseball together. A cookout would be a wonderful way for Nerek to combine his love of cooking, family time, and sports into a fun and memorable experience.
