HOLIDAY WISH

A Wireless Video Game Controller for Manny who loves his video games

Posted Dec 12, 2020
Manny was extremely lucky to get an Xbox from One Simple Wish earlier this year. It has been an amazing experience, and he would like to take it to the next level by getting a wireless controller for Christmas. This would allow him to not worry about where he sits when he plays the game and will be able to relax on the couch without anyone tripping over cords, too!

Manny is 19 years old and lives in IN

Manny had been caring for his three younger sisters when his mom overdosed. Thankfully, she survived, however the children were removed from her care. Unfortunately, he was separated from his sisters because they could not find a foster home at the time that could take all four. While he is doing well, he misses his sisters with all his heart and looks forward to the two times a month he gets to have a sibling visit with them. He tells us he wants to be a doctor - he says he knows it's a lofty goal, but he thinks he is smart enough to do it, and it would pay enough that he could take good care of his sisters.
