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 walks everywhere he needs to go, even during the cold winter months. As he works hard toward independence, the bitter cold can make his daily walks especially challenging. A warm face mask would be a simple yet meaningful gift, helping protect his face and neck from the harsh winter weather and keeping him warm and safe as he travels to school, appointments, and responsibilities. This small wish would bring Jershawn comfort, warmth, and the reassurance that someone cares about his well-being during the coldest days of the year.
