A shopping trip for Colby's back to school needs!

Posted Jul 5, 2017
Colby wishes for a Walmart Gift card to help him get new socks, new t-shirts, and school essentials. This will really help him start the school year off right!

Colby is 17 years old and lives in NC

Colby is an avid bike rider and loves the great outdoors. He likes to admire nature, especially animals in nature. Some of his favorite memories are feeding the ducks at a pond. He also enjoys electronics and video games. Following his brother around is something he does all the time because he admires him so much. He is one of five siblings that entered foster care and he is very happy that he was placed with all of his siblings.

Tonya sent an update on the wish for Colby.

"NaTasha, Thank you so much for helping Colby get ready for back to school season! I heard he was able to go to Walmart today and get new socks, t-shirts, and other school items he will need. He was so excited about all the new items that he hung his white t-shirts up on hangers instead of folding them for the drawer! Again, Thank you for caring! "
