Donelle, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Donnelle is a wonderful young man who has been placed in foster care without his sibling. He was very upset that he had to be separated from his sibling but he eventually understood it was for the best. Donnelle has not allowed his placement in foster care stop his dream of going into the military and becoming a pilot once he graduates. He has been in ROTC since the 9th grade and is very focused on his goals. Donnelle is working through the trauma he suffered before coming into foster care. He likes the stability he has had since being placed in foster care but he misses his family.

Donnelle has worked hard to get on track in school. He also has been working hard on his anger issues and now uses his coping skills when he gets upset. Donnelle has a birthday coming up and he asked for a new pair of sneakers. He would be surprised if he receives a new pair of shoes for his birthday.
