Chris, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Chris has aspirations of enlisting in the Navy as a top goal after graduating high school. He has been the primary caregiver of his younger sibling since he was born, given the chaotic circumstances before entering placement. Chris demonstrates resilience, responsibility, and compassion through all of life's challenges as he tries to lead by example for his younger brother. Since entering care with his younger brother, it has been an adjustment as he naturally feels responsible and compelled to take care of himself. He is constantly reminded to take time for himself and enjoy being a kid. Chris is bright, witty, and competitive, with a strong passion for sports and working out.

Chris has just landed his first job at a nearby restaurant bussing tables! He needs a couple of black polo shirts to wear throughout the week. Chris works as many shifts as possible after school to save for his car. He will be so happy to get some help with a few more shirts for work!
