Isaiah, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Isaiah entered foster care at the age of 11 and was adopted when he turned 17. While adoption provided him with a permanent family, it didn't erase the challenges he faced in transitioning to adulthood. Isaiah has been exploring his options for both college and employment, which has presented some difficulties, particularly with the enrollment process. However, he recently began attending college and is thriving academically. His remarkable strengths in memory and comprehension have greatly contributed to his success in his classes, helping him to navigate this new chapter in his life.

Isaiah recently moved into his first apartment, sharing the space with four other young adults. The apartment is sparsely furnished, containing only a desk and a chair, and everyone is currently sleeping on the floor. Having just started a new job this week, Isaiah’s funds are quite limited, with a significant portion of his income going toward rent. Although he has expressed that he could continue sleeping on the floor like his roommates or try to rest in his chair, he dreams of having a futon to provide himself with a proper place to sleep.
