Oscar, 21 years old

Wish submitted by:

Oscar is a kind and caring young man. He is Spanish-speaking and struggles but tries to practice his English when he gets the chance. He is able to remain in the resource home for now, but he will need to determine his next steps after he ages out. He withdrew from high school due to some learning and processing delays which were more of a challenge due to his language barrier, but hopes to work with Vocational Rehabilitation Services to obtain his GED. He is working with Rutgers Law on his immigration status and recently obtained his work permit. He needs a lot of guidance and development of his life skills. He has a desire to work as he needs to send money back to his family in Honduras.

Oscar has been experiencing difficulty managing his stress. His wish is to obtain items that would allow him to manage his stress in a healthy way so that he can continue to work towards his personal goals. This gift will allow Oscar to pick out a few fun items to keep him grounded like mindfulness journals, fidget devices, and drawing supplies.
