Andres, 12 years old, NM | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 07/17

Wish submitted by:

Andres is an energetic boy with a passion for music, the outdoors, and video games. Responsible and deeply interested in electronics, he has faced significant challenges during his years in state custody. Since entering foster care in 2022, Andres has experienced numerous placements, leading to the loss of important family connections and an overwhelming amount of change for a child his age. Yet, despite these hardships, he continues to show kindness, respect, and a willingness to help others. Although naturally shy, he is gradually finding safety and acceptance with his new foster family, allowing him to begin opening up and embracing the possibilities of his new life as he transitions toward adoption.

For his birthday, Andres is wishing for a PS5. Video games have become a positive outlet for him, helping him relax and connect with others. Having a PS5 would not only bring him joy but also give him the opportunity to play with friends and continue building the sense of belonging he's been searching for. After so much uncertainty, this wish would help Andres celebrate a new chapter filled with hope, connection, and fun.
