Jose is a very smart and respectful boy who has many friends at school and in his neighborhood. Despite everything he has been through, he maintains a positive attitude. In February 2025, Jose was placed with his aunt and uncle. Since moving in with them, he has begun to open up and embrace his childhood once again. Jose enjoys riding his bike, playing video games, and doing crafts at home with his cousins.

Jose is such a sweet boy who always thinks about others. After going through a lot of changes in foster care, he’s now learning to enjoy being a kid again. Recently, he played on a Nintendo Switch at a friend's house and loved it! He dreams of having one for himself, but his foster parents can’t afford it since they are caring for five other children. If he gets a Nintendo Switch, he would be incredibly surprised and grateful. This gift would not only brighten his day but would also help him connect and play with his friends. It would be a wonderful experience for him, as he has never had a gaming system before.
