Chuck, 20 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Chuck is a remarkable young man with an inspiring story. He lost his biological parents in a car crash when he was only five years old and was raised by his aunt and uncle. His uncle, who was a devoted coach, introduced him to a variety of sports like hockey, basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. In 2020, Chuck faced another tough blow when his uncle passed away from COVID-19. This loss hit him hard, and he struggled with depression, often feeling lonely and overwhelmed by how difficult life had become. Chuck is a sweet guy at heart who wants to do well but needs support to stay on track. His rebellious behavior during this tough period led him to a group home for troubled teens. Despite everything, Chuck has shown great strength and determination. With therapy and a renewed love for sports, he’s been working hard to improve his life. He participates in mentor groups and helps out with community service events. Although he still has challenges, he truly embodies the spirit of perseverance and finds comfort in staying active and playing sports.

Chuck is an extraordinary young man about to embark on a new chapter as he transitions out of his group home. He is looking for a stylish sweatshirt that he can wear proudly and that reflects the latest trends. Unfortunately, during his time at a previous group home, Chuck lost many of his belongings to theft. Providing him with a fashionable sweatshirt would not only enhance his comfort but also boost his confidence during outings, allowing him to fully embrace this exciting time in his life.
