Wish submitted by:

Jershawn is a determined and resilient young man who continues to show remarkable strength and independence. He has worked hard to build the skills he needs for adulthood, pushing forward, even when the foster care system presented him with obstacles. His positive spirit, motivation, and unwavering drive truly inspire everyone who has the privilege of knowing him.

Jershawn dedicates all of his time and energy to earning his GED and fully committing to his educational program. At the same time, he is participating in an independent living program as he prepares to transition out of foster care and into a place of his own. Throughout his life, Jershawn has faced many challenges within the foster care system, including multiple placements across different cities and towns, requiring him to repeatedly start over and build new connections. Through it all, he has found comfort and peace in his music and the movies he loves. A gift of these earbuds would mean more than just a present—it would bring Jershawn a genuine smile and offer him a sense of comfort and hope during this holiday season.
