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 hoping for a new pair of jeans this winter because none of his current ones fit quite right. He’s looking for something that actually matches his size, feels good sitting or moving, and holds up to daily wear. A sturdy, well-fitting pair would keep him warm in the cold, simplify getting dressed in the morning, and help him feel more comfortable and confident throughout the day.
