Jayden, 17 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jayden is the oldest of four children in a family receiving supportive services from DCFS. He loves to create with Legos and often prefers designing his own creations instead of following the instruction booklet. He has a strong interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), particularly in robotics and building planes. He enjoys watching science videos and dreams of becoming an engineer, with the goal of constructing skyscrapers in a city.

Jayden is a growing teenager who loves to eat. He and his family are currently living in a motel after fleeing a difficult situation and are doing their best to adjust. The Division supports them by transporting them to food pantries, but with only a small refrigerator and a microwave, they are limited in what they can prepare and often have to be creative with meals. Living within walking distance of a Wawa, Jayden would appreciate the chance to occasionally get a warm meal or something he enjoys.
