Jayden, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jayden is a wonderful young man who has been through a lot in his short life. He was separated from his family from the age of 4 to 9 and lost his mother at the age of 11. Last week he lost his “Big Pa”, who is the closest man that he had in his life. Jayden has the most amazing heart, and he is always thinking of others even before himself. Even though his life has been so difficult, he has maintained a loving and giving heart.

Jayden and his little sister lost their mother in 2019, and they have are now living with their grandmother. It has been quite difficult during these times as the grandmother is on disability, and they are living on a very low fixed-income. Jayden has not had a father in his life, making the teen-age years difficult for him to navigate. The Christmas Season is especially hardon Jayden as it brings up memories of his mother, who put her all into creating great childhood holiday memories for him. Jayden has had some emotional struggles, and at times, he gets overwhelmed with his circumstances. But he has a huge heart.
