Wish submitted by:

Chuck is a remarkable young man with an inspiring story. He lost his biological parents in a car crash when he was only five years old and was raised by his aunt and uncle. His uncle, who was a devoted coach, introduced him to a variety of sports like hockey, basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. In 2020, Chuck faced another tough blow when his uncle passed away from COVID-19. This loss hit him hard, and he struggled with depression, often feeling lonely and overwhelmed by how difficult life had become. Chuck is a sweet guy at heart who wants to do well but needs support to stay on track. Despite everything, Chuck has shown great strength and determination. With therapy and a renewed love for sports, he’s been working hard to improve his life. He participates in mentor groups and helps out with community service events. Although he still has challenges, he truly embodies the spirit of perseverance and finds comfort in staying active and playing sports.

Chuck is a remarkable young man who is getting ready to start a new chapter as he leaves his group home. He wants some stylish shorts that he can feel good in. In the past, Chuck had many of his belongings stolen while staying at another group home, so getting him these shorts would really boost his confidence and comfort during outings.
