Day is a fighter and a resilient young man who hopes to make something of himself one day. He is a survivor of domestic violence and is currently in foster care. Despite having a learning disability, he is doing everything he can to maintain his grades in school. One of the hardest challenges he has faced is the separation from his younger sister. The two of them were very close, but they had to be separated in order to find appropriate placements. Despite all the difficulties he has endured, Day strives to keep a positive attitude. He aspires to attend college and study engineering. He truly believes that, in the future, he will look back and see that everything he has gone through was necessary for him to achieve his destiny.

A Dallas Cowboys jersey would mean a lot to Day. It would give him comfort and a feeling of belonging, reminding him of the team’s strength and happy times with his sister. They are both fans, but it’s tough for them to stay in touch since Day's sister doesn’t have a cellphone. When Day feels alone, wearing the jersey would help lift his spirits. He believes that the challenges he faces are just steps toward a better future. Getting this jersey could really make a difference in his life, boosting his hope and determination.
