A flight for Edward to see family that he hasn't see in years

Posted Nov 22, 2024
Edward has been tirelessly juggling two jobs, working full-time hours every week without a single day off for the past few months. His unwavering determination stems from a deep desire to save every penny, with the ultimate goal of achieving independence. Despite his relentless work schedule, Edward finds himself yearning for a much-needed break. He has many relatives in Phoenix—cousins, aunts, and uncles—whom he hasn’t seen in several years. The thought of flying out to visit them brings him joy, especially as the holidays approach. However, Edward’s commitment to saving his income weighs heavily on his mind. He hopes to find someone who can assist him in purchasing a plane ticket, allowing him the chance to reconnect with family while still maintaining his savings for the future.

Edward is 19 years old and lives in CA

Edward is a non-minor, dependent foster youth who has successfully navigated the challenges of having parents with substance abuse issues. He is currently working full-time as a construction worker while also balancing part-time hours at his grandmother's barbershop. Highly motivated to achieve independence, Edward has made significant sacrifices to obtain his construction certifications and license. He takes pride in being able to pay his rent, own a vehicle, and manage his own bills. His determination and hard work are evident as he transitions into this new chapter of his life.
