Ezekiel, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Ezekiel is an incredible young man who is currently living in a foster home without his four younger siblings. He has had a tough time in foster care and he was upset he had to change schools. He is a great athlete and wants to play professional football. Ezekiel has been working hard in school to catch up on his grades so that he can graduate on time. He works part-time as well as working out and staying in shape. Ezekiel tries to stay positive and focused.

Ezekiel wants to go to prom next month, and he has decided to wear a western tuxedo and cowboy boots. He has worked extremely hard to graduate from high school, even though he was a bit behind and had to graduate a year late. Ezekiel is proud to be the first person in his family to graduate from high school without receiving a GED. He currently lives in a supervised independent living program and is not working because of the high demands of his schoolwork. Having caring adults support him during prom will have a lasting impact on Ezekiel, showing him that he is valued and cared for.
