JoJo, 24 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 12/17

Wish submitted by:

JoJo entered the foster care system years ago following the death of his father and his mother's inability to manage on her own. Tragically, two years after entering the system, his mother also passed away, leaving him without any family support. He found himself lingering in a foster home. During this time, JoJo discovered his passion for football and dreamt of playing in the NFL. His coach, originally unaware of JoJo's situation in foster care, offered him the opportunity to move in with him, his wife, and their two sons. This transition allowed JoJo to leave his foster placement and become part of a family. He gained access to a gym where he could train alongside his coach, attracting the attention of football scouts. Additionally, he found both a mentor and a father figure in his coach.

Jojo has recently faced financial challenges due to unexpected out-of-pocket expenses related to his school classes. These expenses, which include books, supplies, and other educational materials, have put a strain on his budget. As a result of these costs, Jojo has fallen behind on his phone bill, which he relies on for communication and access to important online resources for his studies. Currently, he is not receiving any stipend or financial support to help alleviate this burden. In light of his situation, Jojo is actively seeking assistance to cover the outstanding balance on his phone bill to ensure he can stay connected and manage his academic responsibilities effectively.
