Andres, 12 years old, NM | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 08/07

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 isn't overly excited for school but would love a new black backpack to carry his things. It's a simple, practical wish for the year ahead.
