Everett, 17 years old, NC |

Wish submitted by:

Everett lives with his young aunt, her husband and their one-year-old child in a kinship foster placement. He just started at a new high school and was upset about being separated from his twin brother, but he has made friends quickly and even went to Homecoming in October. He loves to play games and fix things. He just applied for a job at Chick-Fil-A and is excited to make his own spending money! Everett has struggled academically but after coming into foster care, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, and he has made great progress in his reading by working with a dyslexia specialist! He has a great sense of humor and adds an energy and playfulness to any situation. He is enrolled in a high school program that is preparing him to go to trade school. He hopes to be a mechanic, a welder or a plumber.

Everett would really like these Uggs for Christmas. He knows they’re expensive and his aunt says they aren’t practical, but he says many of the boys at school have them and he would like to have them, too. Everett doesn't ask for much, but when he was asked what he would like for Christmas, this was the one thing he said he wanted!
