Korbin, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Korbin came into care by going to the sheriff's office himself to ask for help. He and his mom were homeless, and he had missed a year of school. Korbin shared that he and his mom had been couch surfing; wherever they stayed, the hosts would eventually tire of them and ask them to leave. They had a tent to stay in as well. Korbin's mom has issues with drugs whenever she can obtain them. Korbin has now been in care for six months, during which time his mom has only contacted him by phone. He is back in school and receiving good care. Korbin has big goals for his future and aspires to become a social worker. He wants to help kids like him because he understands their struggles. Korbin is a very loving child, and anyone would be lucky to know him.

Korbin has been in care for six months, and during this time, he has shown a heart as big as the moon. Having experienced homelessness, he has never owned a brand-new pair of shoes that he can remember. When asked about his wishes, he simply expressed a desire for “a simple pair of new shoes.” Despite his own challenges, Korbin is determined to make a difference in the world, starting with helping children. His genuine compassion and desire for change highlight the incredible potential he carries within him.
