Wish submitted by:

Gabe is full of energy and has a natural gift for making others smile. He is currently working on overcoming some personal barriers by attending therapy once a week, showing his dedication to growth and resilience. Gabe lives in a foster home with two loving caregivers, and he feels grateful to share this home with his brother by his side. In this supportive environment, Gabe is free to be himself—without pressure to change or hide who he is. Gabe admits he only somewhat enjoys school, but he especially loves his favorite subject, Art, where he can express himself creatively. Outside of school, he enjoys spending time at home and listening to music, which brings him comfort and joy.

Gavin wishes for a turntable slipmat to enhance and protect his record player as he continues enjoying his growing vinyl collection. Music has always been one of Gavin's greatest passions, and collecting vinyl records has become a hobby that brings him both happiness and a sense of connection. As someone who takes great pride in caring for his records and equipment, Gavin understands the importance of maintaining his collection. A quality turntable slipmat is an essential accessory that helps protect vinyl records during playback, provides a stable surface for the record to spin smoothly, and contributes to better sound quality. Having a slipmat would allow Gavin to enjoy his favorite albums while helping preserve the condition of both his records and his turntable.
