Damon, 7 years old, FL | 2 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/06

Wish submitted by:

People say Damon reminds them of Dash, the boy from the movie The Incredibles, who has super speed. Damon is constantly on the go. He loves running and playing with his foster siblings and neighborhood children. His foster parent shared that at age 6, Damon began organizing and running kickball games for all the children in the neighborhood. The foster parent shared that Damon's ability to organize and run a large game for kids twice his age is impressive, but his inclusiveness to all the children around him and his sportsmanship are what set him apart from his peers. Damon is resilient. Since entering foster care, he has demonstrated bravery and kindness and is extremely protective of his younger sister. Damon is currently thriving in his foster placement.

Damon's birthday is coming up, and one memory keeps coming back to him. He often tells his foster parents about the birthday when his biological dad gave him a remote-control car, and they spent the whole day racing it. That day clearly means a lot to him, and he holds on to it as a happy memory. A remote-control car of his own would let him enjoy that fun again, zooming it around, racing it, and making up new courses. It would give him something to look forward to on his birthday, and a toy that lets him relive a good memory while he makes new ones.
