A Basketball Hoop for Xavier the future basketball star

Posted Jan 14, 2021
Xavier has overcome a tremendous amount of trauma in his short 10 years of life. He has been separated from siblings and then family numerous times. He is now at a new home and received a basketball for Christmas because he loves to play. During his visit with his worker, the two played in the driveway for 45 minutes. Xavier explained that they don't have a basketball hoop so he finds spots on the garage to shoot at. He shows pure joy when playing basketball and was able to talk about some difficult things while playing. Xavier would be overjoyed if his birthday wish for a basketball hoop were granted. His birthday is coming up and this gift will make it an unforgettable one. This gift will show him that his dreams matter.

Xavier is 14 years old and lives in NJ

Xavier has been through a LOT over the years. Xavier is extremely resilient and maintains a positive outlook despite the adversity. He loves basketball and wrestling and wants to become a professional basketball player when he grows up. He also enjoyed video games when he had the chance to play them at his friends' houses. Xavier loves going to the park to play basketball with his new friends and his favorite subjects in school are Math and gym.
