Jovany, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Jovany is a motivated and resilient young adult who has shown strong growth throughout his journey in extended foster care. After aging out at 21, he has maintained stability by living with his grandmother while continuing to focus on his education and future goals. Jovany is currently enrolled in college and takes pride in passing his classes. He is also working toward earning his driver’s permit and launching a vending machine business, showing a strong entrepreneurial spirit and forward-thinking mindset. He actively engages in therapy to support his personal growth and is open to mentorship and guidance. His strengths include independence, discipline, organization, and a clear vision for his future. What makes Jovany special is his determination to build a stable, successful life while balancing personal healing, education, and business ambitions.

Jovany is excited about the chance to experience having a game console for the first time. After many years in the foster care system, owning an Xbox is something he has always wanted but never had the opportunity to have. For him, having an Xbox means more than just entertainment; it symbolizes a sense of normalcy, comfort, and the childhood experiences he missed out on. During his time in care, his focus was always on stability and meeting basic needs, making it feel like a luxury he could not afford. Now, as he continues to work hard toward his education, personal growth, and future goals, this wish holds special meaning for him. He will truly enjoy playing games on his new Xbox.
