Jorge, 9 years old, NE | NEEDED BY 01/30

Wish submitted by:

Jorge is a petite little ball of fire with a killer smile, bringing joy and fun to everyone around him. Currently in foster care, his journey has been shaped by a challenging past. Growing up, he faced instability at home due to his mother's struggle with addiction, which overshadowed his early years. He barely remembers his father, who spent a long time in prison, and his older sister had taken on the role of his primary caregiver until he entered the foster system. Despite these challenges, Jorge maintains a remarkable attitude for someone so young. He thrives on outdoor activities, reveling in playtime on trampolines and splashing around in the pool. Unfortunately, he has faced numerous medical and dental issues due to a lack of proper healthcare during his formative years. Still, his spirit shines bright, and there's a sense of resilience in his enthusiasm for life.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Jorge with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
