Isaaih, 14 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Despite the challenges of being removed from his home, autistic Isaiah and his twin brother have shown remarkable strength as they navigate life in foster care. Leaning on each other through every challenge, Isaiah maintains an extraordinarily positive attitude and remains dedicated to his studies, consistently earning excellent grades. He has big dreams for his future and hopes to become a police officer one day so he can help and protect others in his community. Outside the classroom, Isaiah finds immense joy and personal expression in staying active outdoors, especially shooting hoops, playing football, and listening to music.

Isaiah really loves playing video games and spending quality time with his twin brother, and having a new PlayStation 5 headset would mean the world to him as he adjusts to foster care and being away from home. Being in a new environment has been a tough transition, and he deeply misses the comfort and familiarity of the gaming setup he used to have. As a young boy on the autism spectrum, video games serve as a vital, safe space for him to communicate, self-regulate, and connect with others on his own terms. Having a high-quality headset will support him emotionally by offering a soothing sensory outlet, help him socially by allowing him to stay connected and bond with his brother and friends online, and engage him intellectually through collaborative gameplay, helping him feel grounded, included, and happy.
