Fostering Hope - Montco

Josiah is a lively kid who loves everything about the Phillies, baseball, Legos, and spending time with his family. He discovered his passion for watching and playing baseball after coming into foster care, and since then, he has been playing non-stop. He enjoys pitching and shows potential as a switch hitter. In addition to baseball, Josiah loves to cook and bake. If he doesn’t make it in the MLB, he plans to attend culinary school. He has also developed a love for reading, consistently making his way through various book series. His faith is very important to him, and he often takes the time to pray for even the small needs of those around him.

Josiah finds building Legos a calming, relaxing hobby that's stayed with him through a lot of change. During his time in foster care, Legos were something familiar he could turn to, whether at therapy sessions or in different homes, giving him a small sense of steadiness even as his surroundings shifted. Now he's ready to take that hobby to the next level by starting a display collection, and as a huge Harry Potter fan, the Hogwarts castle set is exactly where he wants to begin. It's a big, detailed build he's been eyeing, the kind of set that takes real time and focus to complete, and would mean so much more to him than a simple toy. Owning this set would give him not just a fun project, but a meaningful piece he can proudly display and add to as his collection grows.
