Marlo, 5 years old, OH | 26 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Marlo felt a lot of pressure, even as a young child, to help his younger siblings. His mom often left them home alone when she was abusing substances, and he would sleep with the younger ones to make them feel safer and more secure. He is relieved, but also nervous in his new home because he isn't sure what to expect with more expectations and more people in his life. He loves watching TV and is excited for the chance to go to school.

Marlo is settling into his new home and is excited about all the fun things to play with. Right now, he is very focused on knowing what's his and what belongs to other people. His foster mom is so glad he will have something to call his own while he adjusts to so many new things. This set of three Transformers action figures will be his alone, giving him a toy he can count on and play with whenever he wants.
