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 absolutely loves celebrating Halloween, primarily because he can’t resist candy! This year, he has the exciting opportunity to go trick-or-treating with his brother, who lives in a different foster home, making the occasion even more special. Jose dreams of dressing up as Ghost Face from the movie Scream, and the perfect mask would allow him to unleash his inner spook as he tries to scare people on Halloween night. This will be only Jose’s second time going trick-or-treating after spending over five years in foster care, so this experience is particularly meaningful to him. It’s a chance to bond with his brother and create lasting memories during a holiday he truly cherishes!
