Joey, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Joey is a motivated and optimistic young man who has been through many hardships in his life. Joey has made great progress in every area of his life and is now on a path to success. Joey enjoys school and does very well. He enjoys getting to spend time outside and loves to play all different kinds of sports. Joey has spent much of his life in foster care and has spent most of those years separated from either all or most of his siblings. Joey loves that he is able to connect with his siblings through video games and his cell phone because he cares very much about their well-being, because he is the oldest of all of them and is a very responsible older brother.

Jose adores reading graphic novels, particularly those filled with fantasy and adventure. He's hoping to receive more graphic novels similar to his favorite series, The Amulet, for Christmas this year. He wants to be surprised with new stories that will take him on exciting journeys. The first book in the Explorer series will be perfect for Jose, as it is a fantasy book about a mystical box and all the wonders hidden inside. He will be ecstatic when he unwraps this book on Christmas morning!
