EJ, 18 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

EJ is a remarkable young man currently in foster care. As he prepares to age out of the system, he is focused on shaping his future. Despite the challenges he has faced, he is determined to succeed in life.

EJ is focusing on becoming more independent as he prepares to leave care. He has been searching for jobs and exploring housing options. To facilitate this transition, he wants to get his own phone. Currently, he is using his foster parent's number to receive calls from employers and housing options. Having his own phone will ensure that he can communicate directly with potential employers and housing providers. It will also allow him to stay in touch with his case worker and case manager whenever he needs support to succeed.
