A Nintendo Switch for Bishop to celebrate his birthday

Posted Oct 16, 2024
Bishop is asking for a Nintendo Switch for his birthday, a simple wish that holds a deeper meaning for this remarkable young man. Throughout his life, he has selflessly sacrificed his own desires, choosing instead to take care of his siblings while navigating the challenges of growing up in foster care. Always the protector, he worked multiple jobs to ensure there was food on the table, rent was paid, and his special needs younger brother received the care he required. As he nears adulthood, the weight of his responsibilities hasn’t lessened; they’ve shaped him into someone who puts others first, often at the expense of his own happiness. He really hopes to get a Switch and find some stress release and peace. This isn’t just a gaming console for Bishop; it represents freedom, joy, and a chance to embrace a little piece of childhood that he’s missed. It’s something he has always dreamed of but could never afford. On his big birthday, amidst the transitions of aging out of the foster care system, having this small treasure would remind him that he deserves happiness too, that he can have something just for himself.

Bishop is 18 years old and lives in NE

Bishop has a plan to build his future in the military. He’s intelligent, kind-hearted, funny, and compassionate. After experiencing severe neglect, he was taken from his parents and placed with one of his teachers, along with two of his siblings. Bishop has always put others first, often sacrificing his own needs to support his family. For instance, he stepped up to pay rent and provide for his siblings when his parents couldn’t. He’s genuinely excited about pursuing a career in the military. With a job lined up, he spends his free time enjoying moments with his siblings. A devoted family man, he loves, protects, and cherishes his siblings above all else.
