Forrest, 11 years old, OR | 60 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Forrest entered care last fall after facing severe neglect, missing school, and being unfairly blamed for issues at home while his mother endured a years-long domestic violence situation. Despite these painful experiences, Forrest remains a deeply funny, loving, and charismatic child who wins over everyone he meets. He is a skilled swimmer, plays football exceptionally well, and loves video games—even dreaming of becoming a gaming influencer one day. Forrest's kind heart, incredible sense of humor, and resilient spirit truly make him one of a kind.

With the new school year starting, new clothes and shoes will give Forrest a huge boost in self-esteem. He wishes for a Walmart gift card to have the freedom to choose his own style, which will help build his confidence as he steps into the classroom and connects with his peers
