This week's segment of Wednesday's Child is a reminder that things aren't always as they appear on the surface. For instance, a sunny day can feel just like Christmas and Harleys and bass guitars can be symbols of good will rather than bad-boys. The 1916 Motorcycle Club, a Los Angeles Civic Organization, will be conducting a toy drive to benefit children in LA County's foster care system. To jumpstart this effort, this Motorcycle Club teamed up with Wednesday's Child to bring an early Christmas to a dynamic set of three brothers interested in motorcycles and playing in a band.
Gene (1995) is an easy-going, witty teen. Like his brothers, he hopes to find one forever family for all three of them. Gene excels in academics and would like to attend NYU and major in arts…or become a lawyer. Multi-talented, Gene plays the bass guitar and would like to learn to play keyboards and the saxophone. Gene has been very involved in working as a backstage crew member for his high school theater and he loves the social interaction.
Jay (1997) is charismatic, charming and funny. Jay is the big sports fan in this trio – but like his older brother Gene, Jay also has a knack for music and would like to learn to play the drums. Jay loves motorcycles and it showed in his smile when he got to fire one up. Jay would like to major in writing and the arts, but is also considering the idea of being a fireman when he grows up.
Juan (2000) is a sweet, kind and playful kid. Juan likes to play basketball and loves to read and is a noted Harry Potter fan. Juan is a bit shy in comparison to his brothers, but one thing they all have in common is the desire to continue growing up – ideally as part of an adoptive family. We're looking for a unique family that's able to roll (and maybe even rock!) with this band of brothers who have a lot to offer.
