Matthew, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Matthew is an amazing young man, who is really into sports. Despite facing some challenges in foster care, his love for athletics has helped him stay motivated and focused on his goals. It hasn't been easy for Matthew, though -- being removed from his old school and friends has been tough. But he's a smart guy, and he's determined to graduate early and pursue his dream of joining the military and playing football for them.

Matthew will be graduating high school in two weeks. He has worked very hard all year to get his grades to passing so that he would be on target to graduate this June. Matthew has had some medical issues, but he didn't allow those issues to stop him from working hard in school. Matthew wants to go to dinner with his family. The gift card would help Matthew have a celebratory dinner at the Cheesecake Factory!
