A Switch for Urell to open this Christmas
Posted Nov 29, 2023
Urell, an enthusiastic and kind-hearted 11-year-old elementary-grade student, shares a room and a gaming console with his younger brother. Urell's wish this Christmas is for a handheld gaming device of his own. This wish holds tremendous significance beyond the joy of having a personal gadget. Having his own handheld device would enable Urell to engage more actively in conversations with his classmates about the games they enjoy, fostering connections and a sense of belonging among kids his age. It's an opportunity for him to feel included and to share experiences that resonate with his peers, cultivating a feeling of camaraderie and shared interests.
Urell is 12 years old and lives in NJ
Urell is a resilient inner-city child residing in a single-parent home alongside his eight siblings. Despite facing environmental stressors and household challenges, Urell remains a shining example of good behavior and positivity. He's committed to his education, attending school regularly and striving for good grades. In a household where making ends meet is a daily struggle, Urell's devoted mother prioritizes the essentials—ensuring safe shelter and providing food for her family. Their hardships have brought them to the attention of the Division, seeking support during these challenging times.
