Korbin, 16 years old | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

MO DSS Children's Division - Clark County

Korbin came into care by going to the sheriff's office himself to ask for help. He and his mom were homeless, and he had missed a year of school. Korbin shared that he and his mom had been couch surfing; wherever they stayed, the hosts would eventually tire of them and ask them to leave. They had a tent to stay in as well. Korbin's mom has issues with drugs whenever she can obtain them. Korbin has now been in care for six months, during which time his mom has only contacted him by phone. He is back in school and receiving good care. Korbin has big goals for his future and aspires to become a social worker. He wants to help kids like him because he understands their struggles. Korbin is a very loving child, and anyone would be lucky to know him.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Korbin with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
