Steven, 11 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Steven has recently moved to a new city to live with his aunt because his mother is very sick. He struggled with the idea of going into foster care, fearing it would mean losing contact with his siblings. Now, settling in with his cousins, he finds it difficult to cope with the sadness surrounding his mom's condition. Despite everything, Steven remains a loving and caring young man, doing his best to navigate this challenging time.

Steven's mom went to the hospital and never came home, leaving him feeling lost and alone. As time passed, he realized that he no longer had any clothing that fit him, and the thought of going to school felt overwhelming. His aunt, who has been doing her best to support him, unfortunately, doesn't have any extra money for clothing right now due to rising expenses. This has made it even more challenging for Steven, as he is in need of basic essentials like pants, shirts, a coat, and sneakers. This wish has been divided up so that Steven can get a few new outfits. This is wish 2 of 2.
