Florida Foster Care Review

JoJo entered the foster care system years ago following the death of his father and his mother's inability to manage on her own. Tragically, two years after entering the system, his mother also passed away, leaving him without any family support. He found himself lingering in a foster home. During this time, JoJo discovered his passion for football and has dreams of playing in the NFL. His coach, originally unaware of JoJo's situation in foster care, offered him the opportunity to move in with him, his wife, and their two sons. This transition allowed JoJo to leave his foster placement and become part of a family. He gained access to a gym where he could train alongside his coach, attracting the attention of football scouts. Additionally, he found both a mentor and a father figure in his coach.

Jojo loves football and recently went to play for a D1 school. He unfortunately got injured and tore his ACL during training camp. He was sent home and had to undergo surgery. He is recovering nicely but it would be really nice if we could get him all the things he loves for Christmas. He loves the champs store and can buy many things from there and it would make his Christmas very special . This year was not the best year for him and this gift card would at least give him something he loves. He does plan to still pursue his dreams but is working right now to save up money before returning back to school.
