For the fourth year
in a row Hope For Youth is pleased to present to donors a wishlist of toys and
gifts.
As part of the Annual Toy and Gift Drive, our goal is to to provide a festive
time to teens and children in our care who have been separated from their birth
families… Will you help?
It's easy! Just
bookmark this page or like us on Facebook. Beginning Thursday, December 3
we'll regularly update the wishlist with detailed items for specific children
and youth in our care which they have personally asked Santa to bring
them.
With your help we can make a wish come true this year!

Here's
our "12 Days of Christmas" wishlist...
- Devin: As a youth in foster care for several years we are
ecstatic that 8-year-old Devin will be adopted in 2016! This little
guy is just the sweetest big brother, hard worker and patient you
man. For Christmas Devin would love to have action figures,
a Scooter and helmet, or a kindle as he is an advanced reader and
loves a great book!
- Juan: Juan is a
16-year-old young man who resides in our Boys Group Home. He just
completed Hope For Youth’s specialized Day Treatment program and is now
enrolled in public school. When we asked his caseworker to share
something good about Juan the response was, “Everything, he’s really doing
great in everything!” For Christmas Juan is hoping to have a new
gray winter jacket, size large. He would also love matching winter accessories
such as a hat, scarf and gloves!
- Joanna: 18-year-old Joanna is an all-around “good girl” who
loves sports and accessorizing! For Christmas, Joanna has asked
for makeup, jewelry and a gift card to Sports Authority.
Joanna is well deserving of these gifts as she has made tremendous
progress overcoming past abuse. Each week Joanna is a dedicated
participant in therapy and tutoring. She is also a role model to
other youth in her foster home.
- Mariona: Princesses, Princesses, Princesses! This is
what 5-year-old Mariona is passionate about! A princess
themed bike and helmet is what Mariona has asked Santa to bring
her! She’s hoping for this big wish, and would also love any princess
themed toys or accessories!
- Tyler: 15-year-old Tyler is the best kitchen cleaner in his
group home! He follows instructions and takes his work seriously
when it comes to learning independent living skills. Tyler has asked
for size 10.5 Timberland Boots and a basketball for
Christmas.
- Karina: As an 11th grader, Karina, who is 17-years-old, has
already started looking at colleges. She is passionate about her
future and graciously accepts the guidance of her foster family and
caseworkers. For Christmas, Karina has asked for a laptop or
tablet to help her with her studies and college applications.
