Jonathan, 12 years old, TX | 37 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jonathan has navigated numerous changes throughout his life, including time in foster care and periods without stability. Despite these challenges, he remains deeply determined to do well in school. He loves to dance and sing and starred in a production of Matilda! Having creative outlets has helped him to stay regulated and grounded through some of his more chaotic and traumatic life situations.

Jonathan loves to play games, but being the middle child of three comes with the challenge of finding something all three siblings can enjoy together, especially with a large age gap. That gap can make game nights tricky, with rules too complicated for the youngest or too simple to hold anyone else's interest. Recently, Jonathan discovered Dumpster Dice, and it turned out to be exactly what his family needed. It is easy enough for his younger sibling to follow, but still fun and engaging for the whole group. Having his own copy would let Jonathan bring everyone together more often, creating shared moments of laughter and connection without anyone feeling left out or frustrated.
