Wish submitted by:

Brian is a thoughtful and kind boy who is thriving in his kinship placement. Although he can be reserved and takes time to feel comfortable around new people, his personality truly shines when he steps onto the soccer field. Playing soccer gives Brian a sense of belonging, allowing him to build friendships with his teammates, grow in confidence, and simply enjoy being a kid. Outside of soccer, he enjoys riding his scooter, drawing, and spending quality time playing with his sister. Brian's gentle nature, growing confidence, and love for the simple joys in life make him a remarkable young boy with a bright future ahead.

The opportunity to play soccer would have a meaningful impact on Brian's confidence and overall well-being. As someone who is naturally reserved, being part of a team gives him a place where he feels accepted, builds lasting friendships, and becomes more comfortable interacting with others. Soccer provides a healthy outlet for his energy while teaching important life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and communication. It is one of the few places where Brian truly comes out of his shell and can simply enjoy being a kid. Participating in soccer would continue to support his emotional growth while allowing him to stay active and connected to something he genuinely loves.
