Patrick, 19 years old, TN

Wish submitted by:

Patrick is a recently aged-out foster youth who has transitioned into extended foster care. Though soft-spoken, he has a wonderful sense of humor and loves making jokes. He enjoys playing video games, card games, and PC games in his free time. He maintains a strong, daily relationship with his mother and stays in close contact with his younger sibling, who is still in the foster care system. He is a responsible young man with aspirations of joining the army. Patrick is focused on gaining job experience and pursuing an education in mechanics at his local community college.

Patrick always makes sure to stay in touch with his mom and his younger sibling, who is still in the foster care system. Their calls mean everything to him and keep him feeling connected and supported. Unfortunately, Patrick's phone is broken right now, and it's been really tough for him to keep in touch with his family. Getting a new phone would not only help him reconnect with his loved ones, but it would also bring him so much happiness and relief.
