Ezra, 17 years old, NC | NEEDED BY 03/15

Wish submitted by:

Ezra is in a new placement with a new family this year and started at a new high school in a different state. It was a tough transition, but he recently joined a Christian group and he has made some good friends through that group. He enjoys playing soccer, drawing and painting. He is very proud that he recently got his driver’s license! Ezra has a job at a local car wash and has been saving money for a car. His grades are good, and he is hoping to go to a four-year college. After hearing a presentation from the military recruiter at his school, he is also considering entering the military or doing ROTC. For a career, he would like to do graphic design or be a physical therapist.

Ezra was a star on his school soccer team last fall, which was exciting because he was never in school consistently enough before to play on a team. This spring, he is honing his skills on a recreational team. Now that his feet are no longer growing, he would love high-quality soccer cleats like the other kids on his team wear, but he knows they are too expensive for his foster family to buy. He is hoping to get these amazing shoes for his birthday, which is coming up soon!
