Issac, 14 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Despite the hardship and disruption of being removed from his home, Isaac has shown incredible resilience as he navigates life in foster care alongside his twin brother. Supported by NJ DCF, Isaac is a bright, humorous young man who approaches life with optimism and is dedicated to achieving great things. He is currently excelling in school, maintaining fantastic grades while fully embracing his teenage years. Athletic and driven, Isaac recently joined a local basketball team and dreams of becoming a professional basketball player one day. Outside of school and sports, he finds joy in gaming, staying active outdoors, and spending time with his brother and friends.

Isaac really loves gaming alongside his twin brother, and receiving a new PlayStation 5 headset would offer him a powerful sense of comfort and connection as he navigates the heavy emotional weight of being in foster care. After enduring recent hardship and significant physical trauma, having a reliable, high-quality headset gives him a supportive outlet to relax, recharge, and process what he’s been through at his own pace. Video games are a central way he expresses himself and builds confidence, and this headset will help him socially and emotionally by keeping him closely bonded with his brother and friends online. Intellectually, it keeps him engaged in strategic, team-based play, providing a much-needed sense of fun, normalcy, and belonging during a difficult season of recovery and change.
