BIRTHDAY WISH

A Surprise Birthday Treat for Jakub

Posted Jan 29, 2025
There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Jakub with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!

Jakub is 16 years old and lives in NE

Jaakub comes from a single-parent family, where his mom works hard to make ends meet, but money can be tight after paying the bills. Recently, he returned home after spending some time in out-of-home placement and is adjusting well. Jaakub excels in his schoolwork, demonstrating great effort and dedication to his studies. He is a polite young man, although he has been struggling with the distractions of loud peers in the classroom. Music plays a significant role in Jaakub's life; he greatly enjoys it and has taught himself to play the piano, guitar, and clarinet. Music serves as a calming technique for him when he feels upset or frustrated, becoming his happy place. To help him cope with challenges at school, Jaakub has expressed a desire for a keyboard he can use in a quiet room to help him relax. In addition to music, Jaakub enjoys a variety of hobbies, including calligraphy, using old typewriters and origami, and building model kit cars and airplanes. Recently, he began learning cooking skills, starting with making deviled eggs together. This experience taught him the value of patience, as some things take time, but the end result can be rewarding.
