Adon, 17 years old, NJ | NEEDED BY 06/19

Wish submitted by:

Adon and his younger brother have been involved with the child welfare system for much of their lives. Despite the challenges they have faced, the brothers share a strong bond and remain a constant source of support for one another. Adon understands the importance of being a positive role model and works hard to set a good example for his younger brother. Adon enjoys spending time with his brother, whether they are hanging out together, participating in activities, or simply enjoying each other’s company. He also values spending time with his friends and appreciates opportunities to socialize and build meaningful connections. Adon is a caring and thoughtful young man who takes pride in looking out for those he loves most.

Adon is really excited for his birthday this year because it falls on the same day as his driving test. He has been working hard to get ready by practicing with his resource dad and learning how to be a safe, confident driver. One of the skills he has focused on is parallel parking, and after a lot of practice, he feels prepared. Getting his driver’s license would be a big milestone and an important step toward independence. Adon is hoping all his hard work pays off so he can celebrate both his birthday and a successful driving test. He is wishing for a Wawa gift card to help with gas and snacks once he starts driving on his own. It would be a helpful and meaningful gift as he takes this exciting next step.
