Andres, 12 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Andres is an energetic and responsible individual with a passion for music, the outdoors, and exploring electronics. Throughout his foster care journey, he has faced significant challenges during his years in state custody, experiencing numerous placements that led to the loss of important family connections and an overwhelming amount of change. Despite these hardships, he continues to show kindness and a willingness to help others. Although naturally shy, Andres is gradually finding safety and acceptance with his foster family, allowing him to open up and embrace the possibilities of his new life as he transitions toward adoption.

Andres is wishing for a PS5 to bring some fun into his life and help him connect with others. Video games are his favorite way to relax and just enjoy being a kid, and getting a console of his own will give him a natural way to bond with friends over shared games. After so much uncertainty, it’s a gift that will help him build lasting friendships, make great memories, and feel the true sense of belonging he's been searching for as he steps into this exciting new chapter.
