Wish submitted by:

Demetrius is an amazing young man who is currently placed in foster care without his two younger brothers. Foster care has been tough for Demetrius because he worries about his two younger brothers, and he hopes to be reunited with his brothers one day. Demetrius loves to play sports and is a great football and basketball player. Demetrius dreams of playing in the NFL one day. He likes school and his favorite subject is math. Demetrius says he will open his own sneaker business if he does not make it to the NFL.

After working hard to save money and buy his own e-bike, Demetrius had his e-bike stolen from his home. Demetrius is devastated because he no longer has reliable transportation. He recently found out he has a baby on the way, so he has been working extra shifts to save money for the new baby. Demetrius has been down and out since his bike was stolen and feels like he can't catch a break. He continues to get to work by catching rides with his coworkers, or sometimes he has walked. Helping Demetrius with a new e-bike will not only help him financially but also give him the support he needs to work for his new baby who is on the way.
