Josiah, 19 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Josiah is an incredible young man who was put into foster care along with his younger siblings. Due to his age, Josiah was placed in a group home. Even though he misses his siblings, Josiah has not let being in foster care deter him from pursuing his dream of joining the military to become a pilot and learn to fly planes for the Air Force. In addition to his passion for aviation, Josiah also has a talent for drawing and painting and has achieved success in various art contests.

Josiah will be working at the amusement park this summer, and he is super excited about it. He has always wanted to work there, and due to his hard work, he was selected for the position. Josiah requested a pair of comfortable tennis shoes to wear on the job and found one online. He will be graduating from high school in June and has been accepted into the Carpentry Trade Program. This thoughtful gift for Josiah will not only help him feel a sense of ownership but also create positive memories associated with his new job.
