Noah, 21 years old, TN

Wish submitted by:

Noah, a former foster youth, is preparing to move into his first apartment. He is a full-time college student majoring in music and a talented self-taught guitar player with dreams of performing in front of a crowd one day. Currently, Noah plays in the school courtyard between classes, often attracting a guitar circle. He beams with joy and appears relaxed while playing, always smiling and clearly enjoying himself.

Noah is about to transition out of his current living situation in just a month, and he’s found a cozy studio right in the heart of downtown. He’s put in a lot of effort over the past three years in his independent living program and has saved enough for his deposit, along with the first and second month’s rent. To make this dream a reality, he even took on a second job. He’s pretty much set for the move, but there are still a few things he needs, like a bed frame. After all the hard work he’s put in, Noah can’t wait to come home and finally relax on a proper bed instead of just sleeping on the floor.
