Eric, 15 years old, MI | 11 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Eric has faced considerable trauma and loss at such a young age, which has shaped his perspective on life. He recognizes that his journey is different from many of his peers, leading him to yearn for a sense of normalcy and connection like any other child. His foster parents and caseworker often describe him as a wonderful child who is gradually learning to apologize and embrace the love offered by the adults in his life. He has a special bond with his two-year-old foster sister, stepping into the role of an excellent big brother, which brings him joy and a sense of purpose.

Eric loves going to the movie theater to enjoy a good film, tasty snacks, and refreshing drinks. Going to the movies is also a special way for him to bond with his foster mother and spend quality one-on-one time together outside the home. These outings give them an opportunity to connect, share laughs, and create happy memories through an activity they both enjoy.
