Jesse entered foster care at five due to his mother’s addiction and was separated from his siblings. After several transitions, he found stability with his grandmother at 13 and later moved in with his father, facing ongoing challenges. Now, Jesse is focused on rebuilding his life. His mother is sober and supportive, and he is enrolling in school for extracurricular activities. He enjoys playing basketball with friends, staying active and connected. Jesse's resilience and determination make him a remarkable young man with a bright future.

Jesse is really hoping to get a PS5! It’d be a great way for him to relax and have some fun during his free time. Gaming could help him stay engaged and steer clear of any bad habits. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to chill with friends and make new ones in a safe setting. It’s like a mini getaway from life’s stresses and a great mood booster overall! Jesse can already picture himself diving into epic adventures and sharing moments with his friends online, making the gaming experience even more enjoyable.
