Royce, 16 years old

Wish submitted by:

Royce is a young man who entered foster care seven years ago. He enjoys playing video games and reading books, with a particular fondness for English. He excels at writing essays and has developed a passion for poetry. While he doesn't play any sports himself, he loves watching college basketball, and his favorite team is the Tar Heels. Royce is uncertain about his future career, often debating between joining the military or attending community college.

Royce has requested a bike from the Re-Cyclery in his hometown. This is a place that repairs and resells bikes at low prices, and they also donate to Trips for Kids, supporting underserved community members. He learned about the Re-Cyclery when a former foster brother purchased a bike there, which was in great condition. Royce chose an impressive mountain bike that looks and rides like new. The Re-Cyclery will teach him how to maintain his bike as well. This bike will enable Royce to get around and visit his friends in the neighborhood, and this summer, it will help him commute to his summer job.
