KC, 17 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 10/23

Wish submitted by:

KC is a bright, caring young boy with a strong passion for football who enjoys staying active. Football brings him a lot of joy and gives him the chance to work as part of a team, build friendships, and challenge himself. KC also has a natural talent and love for cooking. He enjoys being in the kitchen, trying different foods, and creating meals for others. He is a great cook and takes pride in seeing people enjoy something he has prepared. His passion for cooking has inspired him to dream of becoming a culinary chef someday. KC has faced challenges throughout foster care in his life, but he remains hopeful and focused on the things that make him happy.

For his birthday, KC would love a laptop, not just for schoolwork, but as a tool to explore his love of cooking and start researching culinary arts as he works toward his dream of becoming a chef one day. Right now, he's adjusting to a new foster home, and having something exciting to call his own would mean a lot on his birthday, especially. Beyond homework and research, a laptop would also give KC a fun way to unwind, whether that's watching cooking videos, playing games, or just having something that feels entirely his during this time of change. It's a gift that supports both his future goals and the simple joy of celebrating his birthday.
