Robert, 13 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Robert was in foster care for over two years. His transition back home has been slow because his parents have faced challenges in ensuring his safety. Growing up, Robert often had to care for himself and matured quickly for his age. Although he did not have a safe home environment, he was very close to his parents and began to act out once he was removed from their care. He learned to cook and groom himself independently during that time. Robert enjoys playing football and aspires to become an NFL player when he grows up. He is very athletic and loves the great outdoors. Fishing is one of his favorite activities, and he cherished the time spent with his father at a local mechanic's shop before his removal. Robert is looking forward to spending more time with his dad in the future.

Robert's parents recently cleared out a room in their home and transformed it into a special playroom just for him. As he settles back in and adjusts to this new chapter, he's excited about making the space his own. One thing Robert has been hoping for is the new Madden 26 game, but he hasn't been able to play it because his current gaming console is outdated. Football is his favorite sport, and it's something he talks about all the time. Whether he's watching games, talking about players, or dreaming about being on the field himself, football brings him so much joy. Having an updated console and the opportunity to play Madden 26 would give Robert a fun and positive way to spend time in his new playroom. It would allow him to enjoy the sport he loves, stay engaged in a hobby that excites him, and create happy memories in a space designed just for him.
