Daniel, 25 years old

Wish submitted by:

Daniel is a transition-age foster youth who is passionate about his art, music, and community. He started his music career at 18 and has worked hard to produce mixtapes and songs that reflect his deep emotions and experiences, often drawing on his time in foster care for inspiration. Daniel is currently learning coding and dreams of starting his own business to support other foster youth in need.

Daniel is currently residing with a friend who lives just 3 miles from the raging Eaton Fire. The house, unfortunately, is experiencing a significant accumulation of smoke and ash both indoors and outdoors, creating a challenging environment for him. As a result, Daniel has started to struggle with breathing difficulties due to the poor air quality. This Target gift card will be invaluable for him, allowing him to purchase essential items such as an air purifier to help clear the air, high-quality N95 masks to protect his lungs when he needs to venture outside, and filters that will fit the vents in the living room where he is currently sleeping on the couch. These supplies will not only improve his immediate comfort but also enhance his overall well-being during this distressing situation.
