He wished for a puppy
Jaiden Foden of East Liverpool, fourth from the left, is holding the miniature Yorkshire terrier named Ace given to him by the Joshua Project, the Salineville-based charitable organization that donates warm clothing to needy children. Foden, 5, suffers from birth defects that left him physically handicapped. But he always wanted a dog, so the Joshua Project decided to provide him with one, which occurred at an organization fund-raiser dinner held Sunday in Salineville. Pictured with Foden, from left, are his sister, Johnna Thompson; his brother, Dylan Thompson; Santa Claus, and Toni Pastore of the Joshua Project.
