Morris County Youth Shelter, 25 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

The children in our facility are of all backgrounds, both girls and boys. Their daily in and out at the shelter consists of many community service projects such as environmental cleanups, meals on wheels, and assisting the elderly. They do these things while at the same time dealing with crisis situations in their own live that have brought them our facility. In return we try to fill their weekends with new experiences they otherwise would not have readily available to them such as shore trips, deep sea fishing, whitewater rafting, professional sport games, et cet. All of which are sought through discounted or donated channels

Unfortunately, the shelter's Xbox one gaming system has stopped working after several years of the kids enjoying it. Playing video games is one of the most favorite things for the kids to do, especially during the cold winter months. This fun activity has also proven to help keep the kid's minds occupied during the difficult times they face, both individually, and as a community as a whole. Granting this wish to the shelter residents will certainly bring so much joy to them, especially as they manage the various life crisises that have brought them to the shelter.
