Vincent, 26 years old

Wish submitted by:

Vincent is a former foster youth. He is working hard to achieve his dreams. He hopes to one day be in a career that makes him happy and fulfilled.

Vincent came to One Simple Wish with a wish for repairs on his car so he can go about his day not worrying about the next embarrassing moment of car failure. Vincent spent many years in the foster care system and met many amazing people along the way who had similar life experiences as him. He worked hard to purchase a car on his own, something he was both proud of but also a bit resentful, always jealous when he saw his peers have parents buy them their first car or co-sign to help ease the burden. Without his own biological support to accomplish this, Vincent forged ahead and made this dream a reality all on his own. However, as the years have passed, Vincent is faced with repair after repair for his car. He has been stranded many times on his way to work and has a limited range of job options due to frequent breakdowns. This wish will get his car to a place of reliability and something he can be proud of!
