Wish submitted by:
AdvokidsShariq is an energetic boy who loves to be outside. He has had a really rough start to life, but still interacts with the world with a sense of childlike wonder. He is very sweet. He prefers to play outside on his own and doesn't like meeting new people much. Shariq is always looking for new activities to do outside.
Shariq cannot stop talking about skateboarding. He loves to be outside and is always looking for something new to fill his time. He does not know anyone with a skateboard, but sees the big boys in the neighborhood skateboarding all day. He dreams of skateboarding as well as they day! He thinks it will be a bit tricky, but is eager to try.

"Shariq's fostermom writes, "Thank you for the skateboard for Shariq. It put a big smile on his face. Shariq says, ' Wow! This is Epic! I have my own skateboard now!!! I really love this skateboard and helmet!' We are both very appreciative for his a new skateboard and especially the new helmet. I know he's going to try doing stunts like the neighborhood boys and his brains need protecting!""
