Department of Health and Human Services- Nebraska

Jorge is a petite little ball of fire with a killer smile, bringing joy and fun to everyone around him. Currently in foster care, his journey has been shaped by a challenging past. Growing up, he faced instability at home due to his mother's struggle with addiction, which overshadowed his early years. He barely remembers his father, who spent a long time in prison, and his older sister had taken on the role of his primary caregiver until he entered the foster system. Despite these challenges, Jorge maintains a remarkable attitude for someone so young. He thrives on outdoor activities, reveling in playtime on trampolines and splashing around in the pool. Unfortunately, he has faced numerous medical and dental issues due to a lack of proper healthcare during his formative years. Still, his spirit shines bright, and there's a sense of resilience in his enthusiasm for life.

Jorge would absolutely love to have a bicycle. He has never owned one, which makes him want it even more. Spending time outside brings him joy, and he imagines how much fun he could have riding a bike. For as long as he can remember, Jorge has wished for a bike to call his own.
