Edward, 17 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Edward is an amazing young man who is currently living in a group home without his two younger brothers. Edward has had a very hard time adjusting to the group home and has tried to leave a couple of times. Edward loves school and is an awesome athlete. Edward loves to play football and basketball and once played for an AAU Basketball League prior to being placed in foster care. Edward has decided to focus on graduating high school and playing college basketball or football. Edward misses his two younger brothers and looks forward to the weekly visits they have.

Edward has worked hard this school semester, and because of his hard work, he landed a job as a peer summer camp counselor. Edward will be working with younger children on the campsite. Edward is very excited about his new job and is looking forward to starting when school is out. The new sneakers would mean a lot to Edward because he would not have to spend the money he had been saving for these particular sneakers. Edward would be extremely appreciative and happy.
