Ryan, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ryan entered foster care at the age of 14 with his little brother. After two years, he is now in his fourth group home, separated from his brother. At the tender age of 15, Ryan is finally in a home where he is encouraged to be himself. He was never accepted by his family or previous foster homes, but now he thrives in the right environment. He is bright, creative, full of energy, and always has a hug to offer.

Ryan has had to hide his true self for a long time. He is finally in a home that loves and accepts him for who he is, and he couldn't be happier or healthier. He even tried out for the cheerleading team and is ecstatic to announce that he made the team! He is really good at tumbling but wants to continue practicing his skills to ensure he can pull off the most amazing passes throughout his routines. He would be over the moon to have his very own tumbling mat for his birthday! This mat will provide endless hours of safe tumbling practice for Ryan!
