Wish submitted by:

Jaquel experienced many hardships during his time in foster care. He experienced physical and emotional abuse throughout his childhood. He prevailed by graduating from high school against all odds. Jaquel does not have family support and seeks this aspect of community and connection with his church. The lack of support and institutionalization of the system affected his educational motivation, but he persevered and graduated.

Jaquel hopes to embark on a new professional journey and is seeking assistance with covering the expenses for these endeavors. Jaquel hopes to obtain his California security guard license to broaden his occupational horizons.
