Michael, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Michael is currently in college and aspires to join the U.S. Army after graduation. He is actively participating in the U.S. Army ROTC program. Despite being placed in foster care, Michael remains committed to his goal of joining the military and is focused on graduating from high school. He enjoys sports and is playing on his college's freshman football team. Additionally, he works part-time and is saving his money to purchase a car. Michael maintains a positive attitude and has set clear goals for himself and his future.

Michael is thriving in college and has made the proactive decision to sign himself back into foster care upon turning 18. His goal is to receive the support he needs to become independent by the age of 21. Recently, however, he encountered a setback when he didn’t receive his stipend check due to the agency's transition to a new system. This has made it difficult for him to purchase groceries, and any financial assistance he can receive during this challenging time would be immensely appreciated.
