HOLIDAY WISH

Wii U for 14 y/o Josh who is having a hard time coping with being removed from his home

Posted Dec 5, 2016
Josh is having a hard time adjusting to his removal from his home and a Wii U would help him feel like a "normal" kid.

Josh is 21 years old and lives in NC

Josh was removed from her home nearly six months ago with only the clothes on his back. He was separated from his siblings and misses them very much. He is essentially starting from scratch since he did bring many possessions with him. He is a talented artist and loves to draw cartoon characters! He has had an interest in art and drawing since he was very young. He struggles academically but is a well-behaved child.

Karen grants the wish for Josh! Thanks Karen.

"Hi Josh, I want you to know that I work with kids like you all the time, and my biggest heartbreak comes when brothers and sisters have to live in different homes. I want you to know that I am thinking about you and your siblings, believing you will be together again soon. In the meantime, I hope this gift helps you have a little fun over the holidays. Please keep drawing as well. Your artistic gifts can be a powerful outlet for your inner voice. Sending warm thoughts your way, Karen"
