Dre'von, 15 years old, TX | 4 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/25

Wish submitted by:

Dre’von is a teenager in foster care who has lived in several homes. Currently, he lives with his grandmother, whom he loves a lot and feels safe with. He often says he wants to stay with her because she gives him the love and stability he needs. Dre’von is very friendly and likes being around people at home, school, and in the community. He looks forward to school every day, does well in his classes, and enjoys making friends. He also loves sports, especially football, where he shows great teamwork and a competitive spirit.

Dre’von would be excited to receive new equipment for his gaming computer for his birthday. A new keyboard, mouse, headset, controller, or other helpful accessory would improve his setup and allow him to enjoy gaming more comfortably. Gaming is more than entertainment for Dre’von—it gives him a way to communicate, laugh, and spend time with friends he knew before entering his current foster placement. While in foster care, maintaining positive relationships from his past can provide Dre’von with comfort, familiarity, and continuity during periods of change. Updated gaming equipment would help him remain connected with longtime friends, preserve meaningful relationships, and feel less isolated. It would also give him a healthy way to relax and manage stress. This thoughtful birthday gift would support Dre’von’s emotional well-being while reminding him that his friendships and personal interests still matter.
