Aleem, 12 years old, NJ | 16 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Aleem is a dedicated and passionate young athlete with a deep love for both football and basketball. As an honor student who consistently achieves straight A's, he excels not only in his studies but also on the field. His journey in football began with a spark of enjoyment that quickly ignited into a dream of one day playing in the NFL. Beyond his athletic ambitions, Aleem has a close bond with his sister, whom he loves to support in all her endeavors. Despite facing financial struggles as part of a low-income family, Aleem remains determined to pursue his passions and create a brighter future for himself and his loved ones.

Aleem is wishing for a new football helmet so he can participate safely in his fall recreational football league. Over the past two years, Aleem has suffered two concussions, making it especially important that he have a properly fitted, high-quality football helmet before returning to play. This new helmet would provide him with better protection against serious head injuries and help reduce the risk associated with impacts during football. While no football helmet can completely prevent a concussion, having a properly fitted and certified helmet is an important part of keeping young athletes safe. Receiving this helmet would enable Aleem to participate in his football league with appropriate protective equipment and give his family greater confidence in his safety on the field.
