Julian, 16 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 08/15

Wish submitted by:

Julian recently reunified with his mother and younger sister after spending time in foster care. He has a close relationship with his mother, and family is very important to him. Julian is known for being kind, caring, and respectful. He enjoys playing football, listening to music, and hanging out with his friends. Julian is thoughtful and easy to talk to, and those who know him describe him as a loyal friend and a gentle presence.

Julian's family is currently experiencing financial hardship and is unable to provide sufficient school clothes for him. He currently owns only two t-shirts, which he alternates throughout the week. This has had a noticeable impact on his self-esteem, particularly in social and school settings where appearance can influence peer interactions. Having new clothing would not only meet a basic need but also help him feel more confident and included among his peers. Improving his self-image through appropriate clothing can contribute positively to his emotional well-being and support his continued adjustment and growth following reunification with his family. This request has been split into two wishes. This is wish 1 of 2.
