Angel, 13 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 05/13

Wish submitted by:

Angel is a bright young man who enjoys playing different sports, hanging out with his family (including his little sister), and skating with his friends. Angel has been in and out of the foster care system since he was a baby. At times, he returned to his parents, but was then removed again on multiple occasions. Angel has flashbacks from his past, and he is reminded of the hardships he went through in the care of his parents, but also in the care of some foster homes. Despite all of this, Angel remains a respectful young man who still laughs and makes jokes with his social worker and with those around him.

Angel is now living with his grandmother in foster care and had to leave his belongings behind during the sudden move. He can still attend school, but he doesn’t have a uniform. The school is understanding of his situation, but his grandmother needs help to buy him some school-approved pants. Any support would be appreciated, as Angel is facing many challenges right now and is unsure how long the school will allow him to attend without the proper uniform.
