Rob, 15 years old, OH | 8 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Rob is a remarkable young man in foster care, displaying maturity beyond his years. He has a passion for running and aspires to join the track team. Though he tends to be quiet, he diligently works hard at the foster home. Looking ahead, he dreams of getting a job and, when the time comes, obtaining his driver's license.

Rob currently does not have a phone, which makes it difficult for him to connect with his friends from back home. Staying in touch with his foster parent is also important to him as he navigates his time out in the community. Plus, he is eager to join the track team at school, which adds to the reasons why having a phone would be beneficial. Being part of the team means he'll be out and may need to communicate in case of an emergency. A phone would provide him with peace of mind during those outings. Overall, having a phone would greatly enhance his ability to stay connected and safe.
