Ryder, 3 years old, NC | 15 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ryder has recently entered the foster care system and has been placed in a home with his older brother. This new living arrangement is a significant change for him, and he is struggling with feelings of anxiety and discomfort as he navigates this unfamiliar environment. The uncertainty of his situation, combined with the absence of familiar routines and faces, has made him feel unsettled. To help manage his anxiety and find some sense of comfort, Ryder often turns to electronics, such as video games or tablets.

Ryder is looking forward to receiving a tablet that he believes will help him manage his anxiety as he adjusts to a new placement and unfamiliar surroundings. He hopes that having access to calming applications, engaging activities, and resources for relaxation will ease his transition and make him feel more comfortable in this new environment.
