Sebastian, 16 years old, WI |

Wish submitted by:

Sebastian is part of the Ho Chunk Nation and currently lives with his three younger sisters in treatment foster care, having been in care since age 10. He has faced neglect and witnessed violence, yet he demonstrates resilience and strength. Caring and protective of his siblings, he finds joy in music and is interested in composing, playing the saxophone. Sebastian works hard during the summer, juggling several jobs to buy his own items and maintain independence without burdening his foster parents. He is reliable and takes pride in his responsibilities. Although he wishes to fit in with fashion trends, he remains grateful for his foster family and the support they provide. Despite financial hardships, his basic needs are met, and he feels happy in his living environment.

Sebastian is a handsome and helpful young man who will be turning 16 on Christmas Day. For over five years, he and his siblings have been in and out of home care, and he is currently living in a foster home with his three little sisters. Unfortunately, Sebastian has experienced significant child neglect throughout his life, which forced him into a parental role at a very young age, robbing him of a typical childhood. As a result, he has matured quickly and takes great care in how he presents himself. He is very particular about his physical appearance, reflecting his unique style and creativity through his clothing choices. Now in high school, Sebastian has established a few solid friendships. This Christmas, he hopes to receive some new clothes to add to his wardrobe, and a nice cologne would make the perfect complement to his fresh looks.
