Jovi, 7 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 09/25

Wish submitted by:

Jovi is living in a kinship placement with his aunt and uncle alongside his siblings. As he adjusts to his new home, the transition has been difficult at times. Jovi misses his pets and often thinks about his life before moving in with his aunt and uncle. Being away from the familiar people, places, and routines he knew can be hard, but he is slowly getting used to his new surroundings. Jovi has also been working on building a new sense of connection in his new community. He is making new friends and beginning to find activities that he enjoys. He is especially excited to sign up to play basketball, which will give him a chance to have fun, stay active, and spend time with other kids. These new friendships and activities are helping Jovi create positive experiences while he continues adjusting to his new home.

For Jovi, school picture day is about more than a photo; it's a chance to show up looking and feeling like himself. He's excited to shop at Macy's for an outfit that actually matches his personal style, something he chooses because he genuinely likes it, not just what's available. The trip would also be a fun day out with his siblings, each getting the chance to pick out their own outfit too, turning it into a shared, exciting experience for the whole family. Knowing he picked his own outfit would make seeing his school photo feel that much more special.
