Ahmon, 18 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Ahmon loves to play football and run track. He was on the track team at his last school. Ahmon has been through a lot, from detention and placed in foster care, to preparations for independent living. He is a hard worker with goals to stay on track for graduation and intends to keep up his hard work. He will reach his goals with the support that surrounds him.

Ahmon will attend his school dance next month and asked for a new pair of jeans to match a shirt and tie that he purchased. He works part-time at McDonalds and has been saving his money. He took the initiative and purchased most of the things he wanted for the dance. Ahmon is doing much better this year in school and even made the honor roll this month. He does not like asking anyone for anything because of all the disappointment he has dealt with his entire life. Purchasing the pants for Ahmon would help him financially.
