Brian, 10 years old, MO | 2 DAYS WAITING

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.

Brian needs soccer cleats for the fall season. This will help him feel comfortable and confident on the field. After entering kinship care with very few belongings, having properly fitting cleats will make a big difference for him. Looking and feeling like the rest of his teammates is especially meaningful. It will help him fit in, focus on playing the game, and build friendships instead of worrying about standing out.
