HOLIDAY WISH

A model Amtrak train set for Jonathan who loves learning about different trains

Posted Dec 8, 2018
Jonathan wants to be an engineer when he grows up. Anytime he sees a train, he stops in his tracks and his face lights up! He spends his days talking about trains and learning about how each one is used in the world. This set will make him very happy.

Jonathan is 16 years old and lives in NJ

Jonathan is a part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program. He is always happy and is always excited to participate in activities. Jonathan lives with his grandmother who he calls mom and they live paycheck to paycheck, but she works very hard to make a great life for Jonathan. Jonathan loves going outside and playing video games but what he has really gotten into lately are trains!
