Johnny, 15 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Johnny is a resilient young man who has recently faced significant transitions and losses, including the passing of his mother. While navigating complex family dynamics and working through challenges with emotional regulation, he has been putting in immense effort and making noticeable progress. Johnny has a specialized learning plan (IEP) to support him at school, where his absolute favorite class is band. Music is a profoundly meaningful part of his life, giving him a positive space to express himself, focus his energy, and explore his true passions.

Johnny has discovered that listening to music privately and playing his guitar is the best way to manage his depression. He has worn out his favorite headphones, which are now broken on one side and taped together. Johnny relies on listening to music quietly to help regulate his emotions, so new headphones would make a meaningful difference for Johnny, reminding him he is loved and supported.
