Omar, 21 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Omar is a goal-driven and responsible foster youth. During his time in transitional housing, he has maintained employment with Los Angeles City Parking and is also a part-time student at the College of the Canyons. Omar is a kind and understanding individual who strives to make the best of his situation. He has lived in multiple homes before being placed in transitional housing. In November 2023, Omar lost his mother, but he made an effort to stay positive every day.

Omar is a dedicated part-time employee for the Los Angeles City Parking Department and resides in a Transitional Housing Apartment nestled in the scenic city of Santa Clarita, CA. His daily commute is quite lengthy, making the rising gas prices a significant financial burden for him. Despite the challenges he faces, Omar is a determined and independent individual, known for his resilience and ability to manage on his own, seldom reaching out for assistance even when needed. This Christmas, he would be genuinely thrilled to receive a gift card from any gas station, as it would not only ease his travel expenses but also brighten his holiday season.
