A hover board for Jimmy who loves being outdoors!

Posted Dec 16, 2017
Jimmy is very active and spends much of his free time outdoors. He feels less restricted outside and would love to get around on a hover board. He has wished for a hover board, but doesn't believe that anyone would actually give him one (sees it as a pipe dream), so let's prove him wrong! He genuinely believes not a person in the world cares about him.

Jimmy is 19 years old and lives in IN

Jimmy has been "in the system" for the majority of his life. His mother struggles with drug addiction. His father has been incarcerated since Jimmy was very young. Jimmy was in a foster home that planned to adopt him since they'd had him for 3 years. Unfortunately, when Jimmy came out as bisexual, his pre-adoptive family decided not to adopt him, and in fact asked that he be removed from their home. Understandably, he went downhill fast and was recently placed in a locked facility where he is receiving close monitoring and specialized treatment. The silver lining (if there is one) is that he finally feels free to be himself, as he has been hiding his sexuality for a long time. He has two older sisters, who he rarely sees because his facility is so far away, but they are both very supportive of him and call often.
