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 is really looking forward to his birthday this year. Having grown up in foster care, he is used to not always having everything he wants or needs. This year, he would be incredibly grateful for a pair of sweatpants to complete a warm sweatsuit he can wear to school during the colder months. Having a comfortable, complete outfit will help keep Day warm and healthy while allowing him to stay focused on learning and enjoying his school day.
