Edwin, 15 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Edwin has experience in the foster care system and has been working diligently to build his self-esteem and discover his favorite hobbies. Although he is shy, he is also curious, friendly, polite, and family-oriented. Over time, Edwin has learned to understand himself better, identifying activities he enjoys and surrounding himself with people who appreciate him for who he is. His kindness and determination help him grow more confident every day.

Edwin used to have a bicycle that he shared with four other children in his household. Unfortunately, the bicycle broke, and his parents have not been able to replace it due to financial constraints. As a result, Edwin now walks to and from school every day. Having a bicycle again would not only provide him with exercise but also help him get to school and activities more easily and safely. A new bicycle would offer Edwin greater independence while supporting his emotional well-being and daily routine.
