Max, 15 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Max recently reunified with his mother after being in a foster home for a year. Although he was in foster care, Max remained positive throughout his experience with DCFS and has recently begun attending church and weekly Bible study. Max states that he attends church to learn about forgiveness and to forgive those in his life. Max is involved in ROTC and when he grows up, he wants to be in the Marines. In his free time, Max likes to play soccer and baseball and is interested in starting to box and take self-defense classes.

Max is living in a foster home three hours away from his family, and he’s holding onto the hope that they can be together again someday. The place he’s staying is a huge change for him; it snows there, while he used to enjoy the sunny beach. As the winter nights get colder, Max dreams of cozying up with a new blanket that has his favorite football team on it to keep warm.
