Sean, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Sean grew up in foster care from a young age and learned early on that he had to work hard for everything he wanted. He is currently studying Kinesiology at Cal State LA while managing a part-time job to support himself. Sean is dedicated to achieving his goals in both school and work, and he is building a promising career for his future.

The PlayStation 5 controller symbolizes a connection for Sean. Though he doesn't always have the time to game, when he does, it serves as a means of unwinding and staying close to his friends. They may be physically apart, but they can still share laughter and conversation while playing online. Growing up in a system where it wasn't always easy to feel connected to others, gaming has become a vital way for him to keep those friendships alive. Plus, it’s a fun reminder not to take everything too seriously.
