Aidryan, 14 years old, PA | 19 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Aidryan entered care because his parents were exposing him to two individuals who had previously physically abused him. He exhibits some challenging behaviors and is currently receiving treatment at a care placement. Despite these challenges, Aidryan is very social and is working on establishing boundaries during conversations. He likes the colors black and red.

Aidryan is in residential care, and an Old Navy gift card would give him something he doesn't always get: real choice. Being able to pick out his own clothing, in a style that actually reflects who he is, would let him express his personality and make decisions that are entirely his own. During a time when so much of his daily life is determined by others, having that small sense of ownership and independence could mean a great deal to Aidryan.
