Billy, 16 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Billy grew up in foster care, moving from one place to another and never quite feeling at home. Each new move meant new rules, schools, and people, which made him tired and frustrated. He learned not to get too comfortable because things could change at any moment. But there was one thing he always loved: being outside. Running, climbing, and feeling the wind made him feel free and happy. Now, for the first time in a long while, Billy is in a foster home where he can stay for a bit. He’s starting to feel a bit normal with a routine and friendly faces at the dinner table. He knows he has a cozy bed to return to every night. He spends his days outside, playing basketball, riding his bike, and running just for the fun of it.

Billy is asking for new jeans this winter because none of his current pairs fit him right. He needs something comfortable and durable that he can wear daily—jeans that won’t sag, pinch, or wear out quickly. A well-fitting pair would keep him warm, help him feel more confident, and make it easier to get through busy days without worrying about uncomfortable clothes.
