Steve, 16 years old, VA | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Steve entered foster care at age 9 and has faced challenges that no child should have to navigate alone. Despite those experiences, he is incredibly strong, protective, and determined. Steve loves MMA, working out, and physical fitness, and those interests have become a positive outlet for his energy and confidence. He has also shown remarkable courage in speaking up when others were being harmed. He helped report two separate situations in which adults were abusing children and helped a girl get away from an abusive situation. Those experiences say a lot about his instinct to protect others and stand up for what is right. He deserves opportunities to enjoy being a kid, pursue the activities he loves, and know that people support him and his future.

Steve is very committed to working out and following a meal plan that supports his fitness goals. A Chick-fil-A gift card would give him the freedom to enjoy a meal out while still choosing options that fit the routine he works hard to maintain. It would also give him a simple chance to relax with friends after training and enjoy being a teenager without having to worry about the cost of the meal.
