Max, 15 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Max recently reunified with his mother after being in a foster home for a year. Although he was in foster care, Max remained positive throughout his experience with DCFS and has recently begun attending church and weekly Bible study. Max states that he attends church to learn about forgiveness and to forgive those in his life. Max is involved in ROTC and when he grows up, he wants to be in the Marines. In his free time, Max likes to play soccer and baseball and is interested in starting to box and take self-defense classes.

Max recently reunited with his mother after being separated for ten years! Max is now living in his mom's new apartment; however, his old caregivers would not let him bring any of his old bedroom's decorations or bedding. Due to Max's mom still adjusting to being financially responsible for a new apartment and her child, Max's mom hasn't been able to spend extra money on making Max's room feel like home. For Christmas, Max would like a gift card where he can buy his own personal bedding and decorations to make him feel at home.
