AD, 20 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

AD is at one of the top public universities in the world with an eye towards media or film studies. Despite a solid first year, the second year has been incredibly stressful, with challenges around mental health, bio and foster families, academics, and belonging within a large campus. Prior to college, he attended over 15 schools and navigated on his own to ensure his future. However, it has been quite overwhelming and we are continuing to support him during this slightly prolonged transition. Hobbies that bring him joy are listening to music of all genres, styling people, playing basketball, and skateboarding.

AD loves sports and recognizes cardio helps him keep a positive frame of mind. Currently he's not in a school sport and wants to try out boxing. There are a few local gyms with trainers of color, and he wants to have regular contact with Black men who could mentor him.
