Jacob, 17 years old, ME |

Wish submitted by:

Jacob is an amazing young man who has had a hard road paved for him. Jacob is currently in foster care with his grandparents, away from his 4 siblings. Though foster care is tough on Jacob, he wakes up every day with a smile on his face and a positive outlook. Jacob's favorite thing to do is cooking; he has been able to obtain his ServSafe certificate and is hoping to get a job in a kitchen soon. Jacob also enjoys playing pool and is really excited about school. Jacob also enjoys snowboarding. Jacob is such a beautiful young man who can always make you smile.

Jacob is hoping for a heated jacket this winter because he spends so much time outside playing sports he loves, like snowboarding. Having a warm, reliable jacket would help him stay comfortable and safe through the cold months. Since moving from foster care into kinship care, Jacob has been separated from his siblings, and the adjustment has been incredibly hard. Being able to stay warm while doing the activities that bring him joy would not only help him cope with that loss but also give him more opportunities to make new friends and feel connected again.
