Jacob, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jacob is a bright young parent who has overcome many obstacles. He has experienced childhood trauma, tragedy in losing his father, and negative influences that led him down a path of unfavorable consequences. He has successfully completed a commitment program, and has earned numerous certifications, including construction, that will allow him to enter the job market and become a productive citizen in society. Jacob has been able to turn his life around for the better and cites his motivation as being a better parent to his daughter than his own experience with his parents.

Jacob recently moved to his extended foster care placement! He will be living in transitional housing with other young adults and wishes to make his room feel comfortable. Jacob is excited to start living independently and wants his room to have a comforting and soothing feel. He would love to pick out a lamp to put in his room!
