He’s kind, expressive, and full of life, always eager to dance, drum, and make others smile. Wase reminds everyone around him of the beauty in being yourself.
What are Waseskwan's favorite activities?Wase loves to dance at powwows, drum to the heartbeat of the culture, and shine on the basketball court. He played on a 3-4-year-old team where he was the top shooter and learned teamwork and sharing. He also enjoys creating joyful videos on his TikTok page, “Wases World,” where he spreads laughter and positivity. Every activity he does reflects his passion, creativity, and connection to his culture and community.
How would $25,000 impact your family?Our family would be so grateful for the $25K as it would ease financial stress, support Wases’ therapies, help us attend cultural events, and provide tools for his growth. It would allow us to give him more opportunities to thrive, from drumming and powwow dancing to inclusive education and creative outlets. This support would bring stability, healing, and joy—helping our family not just get by, but truly grow and shine together.
