Lucas is a bright and athletic teen who has been in foster care for over a year, for the second time in his life. He is the oldest of 5 and has been separated from his siblings for more than a year. With help from his teachers and other professionals, he has been able to get his grades up over the past year. He looks forward to the day when he can be reunified with his mother and siblings.

"Kelly, Thank you for granting Lucas's wish for a Walmart gift card through One Simple Wish. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA’s) are assigned to advocate for the best interest of children in court after they’ve been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. It is such a comfort for the kids we serve to receive something special, like the wish you’ve granted, while they are in foster care. Thanks to your generosity, Lucas's day has been made a little bit brighter! Warmest Regards, Sam Cirlincione"
