Cooper, 8 years old, NJ | 5 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 09/26

Wish submitted by:

NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Cooper has been working hard in school to catch up. Before entering foster care, school was not a priority for him. Now, he has developed a love of reading and rides his bike to the library every week to find new books. He has also discovered a passion for sports and has been playing soccer and baseball. A natural athlete, he quickly picks up the games. His coaches and teachers note that he always shows up with a smile and has a strong desire to learn.

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