Braeden, 16 years old, NM

Wish submitted by:

Braeden entered foster care several years ago and struggled with being away from his family for an extended period. During this challenging time, he felt lost, particularly as he tried to find his identity as a young teenager. However, Braeden has spent a significant amount of time in therapy, discovering positive coping strategies to help him through this difficult period. He developed a passion for sports and participates in football, wrestling, and baseball. Braeden enjoys going to school and has a particular interest in math and science. In his spare time, he loves playing video games. Plus, Braeden has found a sense of belonging at church; he attends regularly and is active in the youth group.

Braeden is always on the go, staying active with baseball and football. After a long day of practices and games, he loves treating himself to a quick meal, and KFC is definitely his favorite spot. There’s just something about those wings, chicken strips, and creamy mac and cheese that he can’t resist. He’s also a big fan of the KFC bowl. A trip to KFC would be the perfect treat for him!
