Josh, 25 years old, FL

Wish submitted by:

Josh was taken from his mother due to issues with supervision and unsafe living conditions. He and his brother were briefly reunited with her, but they were removed again after she was arrested for abuse and neglect. He and his brother have been placed in three different pre-adoptive homes, but those placements unfortunately failed. Now an adult, Josh lives on his own and is working to balance work, school, and having fun. He enjoys basketball and spending time with friends.

Josh recently lost his job, making the search for new employment increasingly challenging, especially without a degree. The job market is tough right now, but he remains determined to find opportunities. To help relieve stress during this difficult time, he turns to basketball, a passion of his that provides an enjoyable escape. Unfortunately, he needs a new basketball, as his old one was stolen, and he’s hoping to get a replacement soon.
