Terrence, 17 years old, MO | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Terrence brings energy wherever he goes. Often called the life of the party, he loves making people laugh, spending time with friends, and being outdoors, finding joy in the small, everyday moments. He lost both of his parents young and was separated from his twin sister and five other siblings, a loss and separation he continues to work through. Terrence is currently living with a foster family as he finishes his senior year and prepares for adulthood. His past is part of his story, but it hasn't dimmed the fun, hopeful young man he is today. Terrence is focused on making the most of his senior year and looking ahead to what comes next.

Terrence wishes for a special vacation with his siblings as a Christmas surprise. After losing both of his parents at a young age, Terrence has also experienced the heartbreak of being separated from his twin sister and other siblings through different foster care placements. Because they cannot share everyday life together, the moments when they can all be together mean so much to him. With Terrence in his senior year and graduation quickly approaching, he is preparing for a new chapter as he pursues his dream of becoming an auto mechanic. This vacation would give Terrence and his siblings a rare opportunity to reconnect, laugh, have fun, and simply enjoy being a family. More than just a trip, it would give them precious time together and happy memories they can cherish long after the vacation ends.
