Console for Skyler for his birthday to have moments of joy

Posted Mar 28, 2025
Skyler really dreams of owning a Nintendo Switch, and it’s not just because he loves gaming. For him, it represents an escape into another world, even if just for a little while. Living in the foster system keeps him constantly on the move, facing new environments and challenges, but he manages to stay positive and appreciative of what little he has. He takes great pride in his belongings, especially his cherished basketball, which speaks volumes about how much he values the few things in his life. A Switch would mean so much more to him than just a gaming system; it would be a personal retreat where he could relax, unwind, and find joy amid his ever-changing reality. With his birthday approaching, it would be the perfect gift to show him that he is seen, valued, and truly deserving of something special.

Skyler is 16 years old and lives in MO
