Jon, 15 years old, AZ | 10 DAYS WAITING |

AZ DCS - Mohave County

Jon’s early life has been filled with challenges. For the first half of his childhood, he experienced homelessness, often left in the care of strangers while his parents struggled with substance use. After enduring this hardship, he fell into a coma and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Despite everything he has faced, Jon remains hopeful for a brighter future, dreaming of the day he will find a loving family to adopt him.

Jon is excited about his birthday and has a strong desire to learn how to play the electric guitar. He is very passionate about music, loves listening to it, and has even started writing songs as part of his therapy to process past trauma. Learning to play the guitar would allow him to put music to his words and share his story in a meaningful way. This gift would support his creative expression and help him continue healing through music.
