A Set of Pots and Pans for Tony who wants to learn to cook

Posted Feb 20, 2023
Tony wishes for a set of pots and pans because he wants to learn to cook. He has mainly been living off of microwave food and has decided it’s time he learns some basic cooking skills. He feels this will make life a little better for him and help him be more independent.

Tony is 25 years old and lives in NC

Tony is a happy go lucky aged out foster kid who is struggling to make it in life. He has had so many losses and lived in so many homes he had become homeless and has tried hard to get straightened out. He recently got his drivers licenses and completed his GED. He is so proud of these huge accomplishment! He still struggles with housing and is afraid of becoming homeless. He recently enrolled in the criminal justice program at the Community College and hopes to better himself.

The Wish Story

Foster Parent Association of Wilkes requests this wish for Tony.

One Simple Wish posts the wish to the website.

Deborah grants the wish for Tony! Thanks Deborah.

"Good luck as you get started! Not only will you save money as you learn to cook but you will eat healthier. We now know that processed food is not good for us. At first, it may seem difficult but many people find cooking to be relaxing. Do start simple (hamburgers!) and take it step by step. You can start your own recipe book by talking to people at work -- they will probably love to give you their favorite recipes! have fun, Tony!"
