Jamari, 17 years old, OH | 2 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/02

Wish submitted by:

Jamari is a bright and resilient young man who enjoys listening to Anna Mae and has a growing interest in technology. Jamari is working hard toward his future goals and hopes to be accepted into a career center where he can pursue his dream of becoming a computer technician. Jamari has experienced significant loss and instability. He was previously in adoptive care with his aunt, who sadly became ill and passed away. Following this loss, his mother was unable to care for him, and although his father initially stepped in, Jamari was left in the care of others. He is now placed in a new foster home and is working toward finding stability and a place he can truly call home. He is currently supported through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and is making progress in school. Jamari has faced challenges with depression but is actively engaged in therapy and working toward healing, growth, and building a positive future. Despite everything he has been through, Jamari remains hopeful, determined, and motivated to create a better path for himself.

Jamari's phone recently broke, leaving the screen unusable, so he can't see it, make calls, listen to music, or play the games that help him relax. He was also really looking forward to getting a new phone for his birthday after his mom promised one, but she never came through, which left him hurt and disappointed. A Samsung Galaxy S10 would let him get back to talking with people he cares about and doing the small things that help him unwind. After a tough birthday letdown, this would be a meaningful and unexpected win for him.
