Joel stands out for his determination, kindness, and quiet confidence. He has been settling into his foster home along with his siblings. Joel approaches challenges with patience and a strong sense of responsibility, often stepping into leadership roles without even realizing it. Whether he is helping his younger siblings, supporting friends through tough moments, or staying focused on long-term goals, he demonstrates maturity well beyond his years. Joel has a deep love for music and is rarely seen without his headphones. Outside of music, he enjoys gaming, playing basketball with friends, and spending time outdoors—especially on long walks where he can clear his mind. He has a big heart and notices when someone is left out. Joel takes the time to listen and shows genuine empathy in every interaction.

Joel is hoping for a gift card to Abercrombie so they can pick out new winter clothing. Joel has been thriving in his foster home. With the colder months approaching, having warm, stylish pieces like hoodies, jackets, and comfortable layers would make a big difference for them. A gift card would allow them to choose items that fit their style and help them feel confident, comfortable, and prepared for the season.
