Joseph, 11 years old, SD | 15 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Joseph is a guardianship foster child living with his grandfather, a kind and elderly man who is wheelchair bound. A rough and tumble boy, Joseph enjoys the outdoors and has been raised by his grandfather for most of his life, helping him with daily tasks due to his disabilities. While he is caring and compassionate, Joseph longs for a normal childhood, desiring to live without the constant struggles that weigh on him and to experience a sense of peace in his life.

Joseph pours his energy and heart into skateboarding, finding joy and purpose in every ride. He dreams of a super cool new skateboard covered in flames, not just as a gift, but as a testament to the passion and dedication that skating brings to his life. For Joseph, skateboarding represents one of the few loves he has, a source of positivity that helps him stay focused and uplifted despite his circumstances.
