William, 9 years old

Wish submitted by:

William is an incredible young boy with so much to offer his family and siblings. William came back into the foster care system on his birthday and has not allowed this experience to get in the way of his happiness. William is friendly, social, curious, and is currently learning to write. He is obsessed with dinosaurs and learning how to pronounce their names. William is hopeful that he will be able to return to his parents soon and looks forward to their weekly visits.

William recently came into care and has stayed positive throughout this process. William and another young boy were talking about Christmas and how they would spending it, to which he stated he would appreciate seeing his parents and siblings. When asked how he would spend time with his siblings, William got excited stating that he loves having nerf gun fights with them. William is hoping to be able to mix his love for nerf guns and dinosaurs to ask Santa for a Dinosaur Nerf Gun. Not only will this simple gift put a smile on his face and his siblings, it also brings a sense of normalcy to their unique experience in the foster care system.
