HOLIDAY WISH
An Xbox for Nick who just wants to feel "normal"
Posted Oct 30, 2019
Nick is a strong young man who has gone through a lot in his teen years. After losing his mom, he has struggeld with the realization that he isn't ever going to be reunified. Nick has a strong support network with his friends, but sometimes he still feels like the outsider. His friends all talk about playing their Xbox, but Nick has never had one of his own. He really wants to feel like a normal kid and be able to play with his friends from his foster home.
Nick is 21 years old and lives in NJ
Nick is a very resilient young man. He was removed from his mothers care and placed in foster care in 2017. Sadly, while in foster care awaiting to be returned to his mother, she had passed away due to a drug overdose. Nick is now living with a friend and is doing his very best to get by. Nick will be in the system until he ages out at 21 years old. Nick has dreams to go to college to be a Neurologist. He is a very bright young man, but sometimes doubts his potential and needs all the support he can get!
