Tyrell, 12 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/18

Wish submitted by:

Tyrell is an adolescent struggling with ADHD and self-regulation, particularly when it comes to managing his anger. His journey has led him in and out of host homes and residential treatment centers. One of his major challenges is his difficulty with authority, which may stem from the trauma he experienced as a child, witnessing the volatile relationship between his parents. Recently, he was transferred to a new residential treatment home, where he grapples with feelings of worthlessness, believing that his mother and grandparents do not love him because he is constantly being sent away. Despite these challenges, he will be attending school at the facility, hoping for a brighter future.

Tyrell has experienced several placements, which has resulted in the loss of many of his personal belongings. As a result, he feels distant from his mother and is hesitant to ask her for help in purchasing school clothes. Currently, he lacks appropriate clothing that fits for the upcoming Fall and Winter seasons.
