Wish submitted by:

Jonathan has been through more challenges than any child should have to face, yet he continues to show incredible resilience. Now in a supportive foster home that is committed to providing stability and care, he is beginning to experience the consistency every young person deserves. Despite the hardships he has endured, Jonathan is a kind, creative, and loving teenager who does well in school and is respectful and well-behaved. Jonathan enjoys spending time playing video games, especially with his foster sisters. Those moments of fun and connection help him build relationships and create positive memories. A wish for Jonathan would not only bring him joy but also remind him that there are people who care about him and want to support him as he continues to heal, grow, and thrive.

Jonathan is getting ready for a fresh start to the school year, and a new backpack would mean a lot to him. He is a hardworking student who shows up each day ready to do his best, and having something of his own to begin the year would help him feel prepared and excited. This backpack is more than just school supplies for Jonathan—it’s a simple but meaningful way to support his confidence and routine. It’s something he truly wants and would make him feel ready, proud, and encouraged as he heads back to school.
