Wish submitted by:

Juan has spent most of his life in foster care due to the absence of his parents, yet his spirit has remained bright and determined. Despite the challenges he has faced, Juan continues to grow into an incredible young man, excelling in school, exploring his creativity through music, building his own computers, and even designing his own video games. Through every hardship, Juan has carried himself with resilience and a genuine kindness that lights up any room. He is the kind of youth who greets the world with a smile and never hesitates to lend a helping hand. This Christmas, our greatest wish for Juan is that he continues to discover his own strength, embrace his talents, and feel the joy and support he truly deserves. May the warmth of the season remind him of how special he is and how much hope he brings into the lives of others.

Juan is seeking an electric bike to enhance his sense of independence and self-efficacy. He expressed a desire to take responsibility for his transportation needs, noting that having an electric bike would enable him to travel to school, participate in extracurricular activities, and eventually commute to and from work once he is employed.
