An electric bike for Jr to speed around the neighborhood
JR, 10 years old, OR
Wish submitted by:
Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, IncJR has been through a lot. He saw his dad get arrested for hurting his mom, and after that, they lived together in difficult conditions. His mom verbally, emotionally, and physically abused him, and their home was a messy and unsafe place. He witnessed violence and struggled with not having enough food or proper hygiene. Jr was born with drugs and alcohol in his system and missed out on early help because his mom couldn’t take him. Even though his grandmother completed all the paperwork to enroll him in a program to help him, it didn’t happen. He has a twin sister, whom he is placed separately from, which makes him very sad. He also has another set of twin siblings, but he can only see them a little because of their unsafe behaviors. What he really wants more than anything is to spend time with his siblings. Now, he’s living with his grandmother, who is his sixth foster care placement, and she is trying to provide a safe home for him.
Jr says he wants an electric bike more than anything else in the world. He feels sad that he is separated from his twin sister, as they had to be apart for safety reasons. Having an electric bike would allow him to get outside, stay active, and improve his mental health while enjoying some independence. He will be so excited to get this and speed around the neighborhood!

"To the organization that gifted my grandson the bike, I can’t thank you enough. You have no idea how happy Junior will be on Xmas day. Sadly he’s experienced awful abuse and has trauma as a result. It’s been his dream to ride an e-bike and he knows I can’t afford one. He’s such a great boy and has made such progress in his life and I’m so proud of the hard work he has done. Your generosity is so appreciated. You will make a 10 year old boy feel like the happiest kid in the word. Again, my sincerest thanks for helping us and all the other special kids."
