Jershawn, 18 years old, NE

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. Jershawn is currently pursuing his GED and preparing to take the exciting next step of living on his own. His positive spirit, motivation, and unwavering drive truly inspire everyone who has the privilege of knowing him.

Jershawn recently received a new phone for Christmas and takes great pride in caring for his belongings. With money he saved on his own, he responsibly purchased a prepaid service plan to make sure he could stay connected. A protective phone case would mean so much to Jershawn—not only to keep his phone safe, but to help it last as long as possible as he continues building independence. This simple gift would allow Jershawn to continue saving his money for his own apartment soon.
