A 3 Night Trip to New Orleans for John to help heal his past

Posted Nov 18, 2019
Christmas is a terribly difficult time of year for John. His mother was murdered on the holiday when he was just 12 years old. He struggles to get in the holiday spirit and this year, his new foster mom wants to surprise him with a trip to help him focus on happier times. John has always wanted to go to New Orleans and his family is excited to make this happen for him. They plan on going on a Swamp Tour, going to some historical sites, as well as sitting around, laughing and enjoying each others company. He needs a bit of help securing a hotel room though, and granting this wish will do just that! John will be thrilled to have something bright to look forward to this holiday season!

John is 21 years old and lives in TX

John is very athletic, enjoys modeling, drawing, reading, and writing music. He loves partaking in Fashion Shows, even though they can be a bit intimidating. His biggest accomplishment so far has been leading camp activities for other campers at bereavement camp. It was tough but he is super proud of himself for succeeding! John's goal in life is to graduate high school through an AmeriCorps Youth Build Program and join the Military.
