Wish submitted by:

Jacob is an outgoing and energetic boy in foster care who makes friends wherever he goes. His friendly personality and positive attitude allow him to connect easily with others, and he enjoys spending time with both new and old friends. Always ready for adventure, Jacob loves staying active. Some of his favorite activities include visiting trampoline parks, swimming, and playing video games. He approaches life with enthusiasm and curiosity, always eager to try new things and have fun. Jacob's adventurous spirit, kind nature, and ability to bring joy to those around him make him a wonderful child who brightens every room he enters.

Jacob loves spending time out on one of the local lakes in his kayak, where he feels most relaxed and at peace. Being on the water has become something he truly looks forward to, giving him a chance to enjoy the outdoors and take a break from everyday stress. Right now, he has to borrow a life jacket, and he would be so excited to have one of his very own. Having his own life jacket would not only make his time on the water safer, but also give him a greater sense of independence and confidence. Time on the lake has also become a meaningful way for Jacob and his foster parents to connect, while giving him space to unwind, recharge, and just enjoy being a kid outside.
