John, 16 years old | NEEDED BY 01/17

Wish submitted by:

John is a sweet and caring young man who is deaf and has a deep passion for construction and design. He plans to pursue a college education in this field, aiming to turn his interests into a rewarding career. For many years, John took on the role of caretaker for his younger siblings, and although they are currently separated, he misses them dearly. In school, John excels in his studies and consistently achieves excellent grades, though he faces challenges in math. He is currently enrolled in remedial math classes but works diligently to keep up with his peers. Outside of academics, John enjoys spending his spare time playing online video games, studying cars, building with Legos, and watching wrestling. A social individual, John thrives in the company of friends and family but longs to meet more people who know sign language, as this would enhance his ability to connect with others. With his caring nature and bright spirit, John is not only a great student but also a loving and supportive friend.

John is about to celebrate his 16th birthday, a milestone he has eagerly anticipated as it marks his very first birthday party. After spending a significant amount of time in a shelter, he has finally found stability in a nurturing foster home, where the warm families communicate using sign language. This newfound ability to express himself has opened up a world of connection with others, filling his days with joy. Despite this positive shift in his life, John has not had the chance to experience the simple pleasure of shopping for himself in what feels like ages. As he approaches this special day, he feels a deep desire to refresh his wardrobe and select clothing that reflects his personality and style. The thought of choosing his own outfits brings him immense excitement, and he dreams of stepping into the store, surrounded by vibrant fabrics and colors, and finally picking out clothes that truly represent who he is as he enters this new chapter of his life. This is wish1 of 2.
