Lyric, 13 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Lyric is a vibrant, resilient young boy who has shown incredible strength while navigating multiple placements since entering foster care. While adjusting to new homes and environments has been challenging, sports have become his ultimate outlet to connect, heal, and express his determination. Whether he is running cross country or competing in football and basketball, Lyric pours his heart into every game, drawing inspiration from athletes like Steph Curry. His foster parents are dedicated to helping him build healthy coping skills and confidence both on the field and in the classroom. With his natural energy and persevering spirit, Lyric continues to push through obstacles as he builds a foundation for a brighter future.

Lyric is wishing for a set of audiobook Tonies to help him read along with books and catch up to his grade level. Due to a tough start to his education, reading long books on his own can feel overwhelming and frustrating. His teachers recommended listening to audiobooks while following along with the text, which is a great way to boost his reading skills and confidence. Since Lyric doesn't have a phone, these Tonies will give him an engaging, independent way to practice reading, stay on track in school, and feel proud of his progress.
