A Switch for Michael who has finally turned a corner
Michael, 16 years old
Wish submitted by:
CASA NJ - Essex CountyMichael has been in foster care for quite some time now after being removed from his home due to family domestic violence and drug abuse issues. Because of the trauma he endured, he developed ADHD and lacked the coping skills needed to thrive in school and life in general. He has been in 31 different foster homes and schools through no fault of his own. His new placement has been a blessing, though. He is now receiving proper medical care and is beginning to thrive in school. His behavioral problems have all but disappeared!
After enduring the trauma of a rough upbringing and the transfer between 31 foster homes in less than 6 years, Michael has finally turned a corner. He moved in with a family that is supportive and nurturing. He is receiving the proper medical care for his ADHD diagnosis, and is improving exponentially in school! His behavioral issues have all but disappeared and he is enjoying being a teenage boy. He would love a Nintendo Switch Lite not only because he enjoys video games, but also because research shows focusing on a game may improve ADHD symptoms
