JoJo, 24 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 06/27

Wish submitted by:

JoJo entered the foster care system years ago following the death of his father and his mother's inability to manage on her own. Tragically, two years after entering the system, his mother also passed away, leaving him without any family support. He found himself lingering in a foster home. During this time, JoJo discovered his passion for football and dreamt of playing in the NFL. His coach, originally unaware of JoJo's situation in foster care, offered him the opportunity to move in with him, his wife, and their two sons. This transition allowed JoJo to leave his foster placement and become part of a family. He gained access to a gym where he could train alongside his coach, attracting the attention of football scouts. Additionally, he found both a mentor and a father figure in his coach.

Jojo recently started a new job at Amazon and is feeling excited about this opportunity. However, he needs some assistance with gas expenses for his daily commute. It takes him 40 minutes to get to work each day, and with rising gas prices, it's becoming costly. Fortunately, this situation is temporary while he completes his training. This wish will help him while he gets settled into his new job. It has been divided up so that he can make several trips. This is wish 1 of 2.
