Donald, 15 years old, NM | 12 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/16

Wish submitted by:

Donald is new to foster care and is dealing with some personal traumas. He has lost several family members whom he relied on for support. Donald is very interested in flags and enjoys learning about them. He is also curious about envelopes and stamps. Overall, Donald loves learning about a variety of subjects. He is very independent, as he had to learn to take care of himself before entering foster care.

Donald used to have his own game system at home, but because the department couldn't retrieve it from his family, he's been without one since entering foster care almost a month ago. Gaming is something that's simply his, a way to relax, have fun, and feel a sense of normalcy during a time when so much else feels uncertain. Donald is a strong self-advocate who speaks up for what he needs, and having his own game system again would give him back something familiar to look forward to, right as he celebrates his upcoming birthday.
