Brett, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Brett has been in several foster homes in the last 2 years, and is finally in a stable pre-adoptive home where he is beginning to feel settled. Brett likes to see how things work and is very interested in robotics. He would like to join the robotics team at his school once that starts up (soon). He has dreams of going to college and has applied for the 21st Century Scholars Program.

Brett once had a used bicycle, but with all his moves, it was lost in the shuffle. He lives in a safe neighborhood with a loving pre-adoptive family now. He could ride his bike to the park and to friends' homes. He didn't ask for a "new" bike, but we know that his family situation has never allowed him to have anything new. Also, this bike can be seen as an opportunity for him and his adoptive father to bond as he is very handy and he and Brett will assemble the bike together. Also, his therapist believes that now he is in a permanent placement, receiving something new may help him feel more connected to that placement.
