Tony’s journey has been tough, but his strength really stands out. He lost his mom when he was young and went into foster care, which was full of ups and downs. Thankfully, his best friend’s family adopted him, giving him the love and stability he needed. Despite everything he’s been through, Tony is determined to not let his past define him. One of Tony’s biggest passions is acting. He loves drama and theatre class, where he feels truly alive, diving into different roles and expressing feelings that go beyond words. He dreams of moving to California one day to become an actor, and he holds onto that dream tightly, no matter how far away it may seem. Tony’s story is all about resilience, hope, and finding family in surprising places.

Tony is asking for a new pair of jeans to wear on Christmas Day. He wants something stylish, comfortable, and suitable for all the holiday moments—whether it’s opening presents in the morning, taking pictures with family, or relaxing during Christmas dinner. Having a fresh pair of jeans would help him feel confident and put-together as he celebrates the holiday with the people he cares about. It’s a simple request, but one that would make his Christmas feel a little more special and meaningful.
