Wish submitted by:

De'andre is a kind, respectful young man who enjoys playing basketball, video games, and spending time with his friends. He works hard in school, earns good grades, and is known for treating others with kindness and respect. Despite facing difficult circumstances, De'andre continues to maintain a positive attitude and has a caring heart. After being removed from his parents' care due to substance abuse, De'andre has been lovingly cared for by his elderly grandmother, who has worked hard to provide him with a safe and stable home. While he misses his mom and cherishes the time they are able to spend together, he remains hopeful that one day they will be reunited. Through it all, De'andre continues to show resilience, maturity, and determination.

De'andre is a huge fan of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. He's really looking forward to going out with his friends on Halloween and he's confident he'll look and feel amazing in his costume. De'andre is hoping to score lots of candy!
