Emery, 21 years old, VA | 3 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Emery has spent years moving between homes and navigating life in foster care, but through every change, they have held onto their kindness, creativity, and desire to make a difference. Now a young adult working to build stability after aging out of the system, Emery finds comfort in nurturing plants and creating a space of their own. They are thoughtful, loyal, and passionate about helping others, with a dream of becoming a social worker so they can support young people facing similar challenges. Even as they work to establish their independence, Emery continues to put others first, always striving to leave people and places better than they found them.

Emery spends their days working hard, studying, and quietly caring for everyone around them. At the end of the night, when the room is still and the plants are watered, video games are one of the few ways they truly rest. It’s a place to unwind, laugh with friends scattered across town, and be a kid for a little while after years of growing up too fast. Their current controller is worn out, and replacing it is a luxury Emery can’t justify when every dollar has to stretch toward rent and groceries. A black PS5 controller would give them a reliable way to relax and stay connected with the people they care about.
