Jalen, 21 years old
Wish submitted by:
CA DCFS - Los Angeles CountyJalen is a current non-minor dependent foster youth who has low self-esteem issues due to his parents' verbal and emotional abuse. Jalen has overcome adversity from the abuse and is now in a supportive living situation with a foster family that truly cares about his well-being. Jalen reported that for the first time, he is feeling positive about his capabilities as a student-athlete. In high school, Jalen was a track and field star and won several track meets as a senior. Jalen was given a scholarship due to his athletic abilities and is excited for that adventure. Jalen is working very hard and doing his best in both academics and sports, as he is reporting that he is getting A's thus far in college.
Jalen just finished his semester at City College and is now on summer break. He would love to visit the local AMC theater and watch some movies over the summer. He is requesting a gift card that could help him pay for the cost of a ticket, popcorn, candy, and soda, which can become very costly nowadays. Jalen is hoping a gift card can provide him with at least two trips to the movies this summer. This wish was broken into two parts, to allow for an epic movie experience. This is wish 1 of 2.
