Day, 17 years old, PA | NEEDED BY 08/28

Wish submitted by:

Day is a fighter and a resilient young man who hopes to make something of himself one day. He is a survivor of domestic violence and is currently in foster care. Despite having a learning disability, he is doing everything he can to maintain his grades in school. One of the hardest challenges he has faced is the separation from his younger sister. The two of them were very close, but they had to be separated in order to find appropriate placements. Despite all the difficulties he has endured, Day strives to keep a positive attitude. He aspires to attend college and study engineering. He truly believes that, in the future, he will look back and see that everything he has gone through was necessary for him to achieve his destiny.

Day’s birthday is coming up, and he is determined to make this year his best one yet. Having a rough start in life and growing up in foster care, Day is used to not getting everything he wants. However, this year he would really love a warm, comfortable sweatshirt he can wear to school during the colder months. A new sweatshirt would not only help keep him warm and healthy but also give him the confidence to face each school day feeling cared for and ready to succeed.
