HOLIDAY WISH

A mattress for Marcus who is currently sleeping on his couch

Posted Dec 3, 2024
Marcus stands tall, his long limbs often stretched awkwardly as he navigates the cramped quarters of his current living situation. At the moment, he finds himself sleeping on a couch that, while providing some shelter, hardly offers the comfort he craves after a long day of classes and work. A proper mattress would be a game-changer for him, transforming his restless nights into rejuvenating slumbers, allowing him to wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. Having rarely experienced the luxury of his own bed, the thought of sinking into a cozy, supportive mattress fills him with hope and excitement. It represents not just a place to rest, but a sanctuary where he can escape into the worlds of the books he loves. One of his favorite indulgences is to recline comfortably and lose himself in the pages of a good novel, the stories enveloping him like a warm embrace. A real bed would make all the difference, turning the simple act of reading into a cherished ritual that he longs for.

Marcus is 20 years old and lives in CA

Marcus entered the foster care system as a newborn and aged out without ever being adopted. Throughout his time as a foster youth, he changed homes frequently and nearly faced homelessness when he transitioned out of the system. He realized that his passion for education was the key to achieving the life he wanted, and he is now attending the University of California as a Psychology major. Marcus enjoys spending time in nature, working out, and playing video games. He also has a beloved cat named Kiwi. Marcus aspires to return to his community and help others who have had similar experiences as they navigate life's challenges. His vibrant energy positively impacts everyone around him.
