I'Kwon, 8 years old, NJ | 12 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

I’Kwon is a very smart, energetic, and kind young man. He enjoys playing video games, spending time with his older sibling and cousins, and visiting his grandparents. Family is extremely important to I’Kwon, as he is in a relative placement. He dreams of becoming a race car driver in the future and practices through his video games. Despite facing disruptions in his life that he could not control, I’Kwon works hard in school and has been steadily improving his grades.

I'Kwon has gone through a lot in his life, and recently he's finally been able to find stability with his family. Through it all, soccer has been something he's leaned on, more than just a game, it's felt like therapy for him, especially during the games he played this summer. I'Kwon looks up to Cristiano Ronaldo and dreams of becoming a soccer player himself one day, so a Ronaldo Lego set is exactly what he's been hoping for, a fun way to build and display a tribute to the player who inspires him most. For I'Kwon, it would also be a little token to remember this milestone he and his family have worked so hard to reach.
