Marcell, 17 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 08/29

Wish submitted by:

Marcell is a determined young man with a passion for basketball and gaming, often spending time honing his skills and bonding with his siblings. Despite facing significant challenges in his life, including the trauma of his time in foster care and witnessing his mother's struggles with abuse, Marcell remains hopeful and focused on his future. After overcoming a period of homelessness that lasted six months, Marcell has now found stable housing with his siblings. While they have minimal possessions, the comfort of being together offers him the strength and determination he needs. Currently in therapy, Marcell is actively working through his past experiences, striving to heal and create a brighter path for himself.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Marcell 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!
