VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Joy Rios started Connect With A Wish in Virginia Beach seven years ago.
She was inspired by the great people in the community doing all they could to help children pulled out of their homes and placed into the foster care system.
She is now one of those great people.
Along with a small group of volunteers, Rios connects generous donations from the community - from essential toiletries and blankets to prom dresses and gifts - with children in foster care.
