Zander, 21 years old, CO | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Zander has overcome significant challenges, including time spent in foster care before being reunited with his family. He’s focused on achieving two major goals: earning his high school diploma and becoming financially stable and responsible. One of his favorite things to do is skateboard, and he spends any free time he has outdoors in the sun. Zander describes himself as blunt, funny, and introverted, while those around him know him as goofy, fun-loving, and full of life.

Between diaper changes, late nights, and everything else that comes with a new baby, Zander and his girlfriend haven't had much time lately that's just about the two of them. They love being parents, but adjusting to life with a newborn has made it harder to feel like a couple, not just co-parents. Gaming is something they've always enjoyed together, and it's easy to do from home, making it one of the few realistic ways they can actually unwind and spend time together without needing childcare or a night out. For Zander, an Xbox wouldn't just be a fun distraction. It would give them a small window each week to reconnect as partners, to laugh, play, and just be together outside of the routine of parenting.
