Justin, 19 years old, IN

Wish submitted by:

Justin has been in the foster care system since kindergarten, enduring over 24 different placements. He’s been shuffled from home to home, never finding stability, never truly belonging. The system has failed him, leaving him institutionalized and struggling to trust that anyone will stay. Like so many kids in his situation, he has tried to take control the only way he knew how—by running. But instead of finding safety, he ended up in a locked facility for his own protection.

Justin's life tragically ended after being involved in a car accident where he was ejected from the back seat and pinned under the car. His beautiful life was cut way too short. One Simple Wish partnered with CASA to ensure his legacy will continue to live on.
