A Surprise Birthday Treat for Josiah

Josiah, 16 years old, NJ | birthday-iconclock-icon NEEDED BY 01/31

Wish submitted by:

NJ DCFS - Essex County

Josiah is a responsible middle child who values his close relationship with his siblings. They were placed in foster care after their mother passed away, which disrupted their childhood development and exposure to the outside world. Josiah is curious about making friends outside his siblings, but is still adjusting to new environments. He enjoyed trying pizza for the first time and is learning to be comfortable with new experiences. His current foster family has training to help children with trauma, and those who meet him understand the importance of being patient as he navigates his feelings and experiences..

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Josiah with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!

"Thank you for your generosity and meaningful gift for my birthday. The gift you provided me made my birthday even more special. I was able to use some of the money to purchase candy that I shared with my sister and friends in school. This made me very happy that I was able to share something with others that we all enjoy. Thank you, thank you so much. "
