Marquise, 15 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Marquise is an incredible young man who entered the foster care system after being removed from his mother due to neglect. He is adjusting well in his new home and is performing admirably in school. Marquise loves to play basketball, football, and soccer, and he dreams of becoming a sports doctor. Despite experiencing significant trauma in his short life, he continues to smile and maintains a positive outlook on life.

Marquise loves being outside, playing with his friends. He had to leave his old bike behind when he was placed in a new foster home and he was heartbroken. He wishes for a new bike so he can keep riding around with his new friends. He will love exploring his new surroundings on these new wheels. The fresh air and sunshine is great for Marquise and he hopes his wish will be granted so he can get back outside!
