JP, 26 years old

Wish submitted by:

JP is a bright and passionate young man who is doing his best to navigate challenges like homelessness and instability. He runs his own cleaning business, though income is sporadic. He is a funny person with a unique sense of humor. He loves exploring areas outside the city, appreciates nature and finding beauty wherever he can.

JP is currently facing homelessness and struggling to cope with the harsh winter temperatures in New York City. A warm and durable winter coat would be transformative for him, enabling him to venture outdoors safely in search of employment and access essential state benefits—opportunities that remain out of reach with his current wardrobe. Equipped with a proper coat, JP could confront the winter months with renewed confidence, comfort, and warmth, taking meaningful steps toward self-improvement and a better future.
