Jo-el, 32 years old, CO |

Wish submitted by:

Jo-el is a loving, and creative individual who aged out of foster care after spending over five years in the system. Her journey has shaped her into someone who leads with strength and heart, always finding ways to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Jo-el’s creativity shines through in everything she does, and her ability to love deeply and rise above adversity makes her a powerful example of hope, perseverance, and the strength of lived experience.

Jo-el is hoping to give her son a toy phone for Christmas—a gift that’s both fun and meaningful. It would give him his very own device to explore, satisfying his curiosity while helping him stop grabbing his mom’s phone. Designed for his age and intelligence, the toy combines learning with play, letting him engage with technology in a safe and exciting way. For Jo-el, it’s more than just a toy—it’s a chance to encourage his independence, curiosity, and confidence while keeping playtime educational and joyful.
