Everett, 17 years old, NC |

Wish submitted by:

Everett lives with his aunt, her husband, and their child in a kinship foster placement. When he entered care, he had to start at a new high school and was upset about being separated from his twin brother, but he made friends quickly. He loves to play games and fix things. He got a job and is excited to make his own money! Everett has struggled academically, but after coming into foster care, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, and he has made great progress in his reading by working with a dyslexia specialist! He has a great sense of humor and adds energy and playfulness to any situation. He is enrolled in a program preparing him for trade school. He hopes to be a mechanic, a welder, or a plumber.

Everette went to Carowinds for the first time when he came into foster care and he absolutely loved it. His favorite rides are the ones that go fast or upside down. He has asked for a season's pass so he can go next season as much as he wants!
