Joey, 9 years old
Wish submitted by:
Dare County Department of Health and Human ServicesJoey is a bright, loving, and curious boy who has been in foster care for over three years. He has an identical twin and an older brother, both of whom live in different homes. Throughout this journey, Joey has demonstrated incredible resilience, working hard to develop coping skills that help him heal from the trauma he experienced while in the care of his biological parents and during the separation from his brothers.
Joey is naturally athletic and took to surfing like a fish to water. Learning to surf has not only helped him build frustration tolerance and patience but it’s also been a wonderful way to soothe his nervous system. It’s amazing to see how much surfing has helped Joey cope with and manage his PTSD, and he genuinely loves it! With this new wetsuit setup, Joey will be able to enjoy surfing and its benefits all year round.
