HOLIDAY WISH

A basketball hoop so TJ can practice for the NBA

Posted Nov 23, 2022
TJ was recently granted a brand new basketball, and he is very excited to have it, but he doesn't have access to a basketball hoop in his neighborhood! TJ would love to be able to get out and practice all of his moves in the backyard, and this portable basketball hoop would make that happen for him! His entire treatment team would be so happy to see him be able to get outside and run around, because that will be great to help him develop coping skills and work through his trauma. TJ will be over the moon to open up this basketball hoop on Christmas morning!

TJ is 9 years old and lives in OH

TJ is a joyful young boy who is figuring out who he is. TJ has recently discovered a love of sports and would love to practice and join a team. Sports help TJ to work through his emotions that he struggles to understand. TJ has been in foster care for the majority of his life and has spent time in numerous foster homes and residential treatment as he is trying to learn how to work through his trauma. Despite his struggles, he is a wonderful young man who is always trying to look forward and find things in life that bring him joy.
