Jo Jo is a great young man who lives with his parents. They moved here from Jamaica and are struggling to make ends meet. Jo Jo faces challenges because he has autism and other disabilities. He finds reading and math tough but is working hard to learn important everyday skills. Right now, he's trying to master things like cleaning, getting dressed, and taking care of himself. He is also learning how to shop by himself, cross streets safely, and pick the right clothes for different weather. He is sweet, loving, and very determined to do his best. Jo Jo loves Disney, especially Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and enjoys watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on YouTube. Despite the challenges he faces, his story shows hope and strength as he works to grow and thrive in life.

Jo Jo is a hardworking young man who looks forward to fun activities and his favorite summer tradition of celebrating with barbecues. He would love a shirt to go with a trendy pair of shorts he has picked out. A shirt that matches the colors in his shorts would help him feel cool, stylish, and confident.
