Troy, 16 years old, VA | 9 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/27

Wish submitted by:

Troy came into foster care shortly after his grandfather, who had been raising him, passed away from a terminal illness. He's had to navigate a lot on his own, since his father is incarcerated and he was removed from his mother years ago due to her substance abuse and neglect. Despite the upheaval, Troy is determined to build a normal life and hopes to join the military after he graduates next year. He's hurting right now, but he's holding on tightly to his goals for the future.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Troy with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
