Kyle, 20 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 04/01

Wish submitted by:

Kyle is currently participating in an extended foster care program, which allows him to stay until he turns 23. As a college student, he is dedicated to overcoming various challenges while pursuing his education in a building construction program, with aspirations of becoming a general contractor in the future. Kyle's journey in foster care began at the age of 14 when his aunt was no longer able to care for him, and his parents have never been a part of his life. He spent his teenage years in a group home until he turned 18. Despite the obstacles he has faced, Kyle remains hopeful and optimistic about his future. When he’s not studying, he stays active by playing basketball, football, and boxing. He treasures the connections he has with friends, often catching up through FaceTime, and finds joy in unwinding with video games. Kyle's positive attitude and zest for life are truly inspiring.

Kyle is having a hard time getting to school every day. He lives in a rural area with no public transportation, and since his school is a charter school, there’s no bus service available either. He’s set to graduate at the end of May and has been attending virtually, but the school has now enforced in-person attendance for all students. He’s so close to finishing and really needs help with transportation to make it through these last few weeks. An Uber gift card would be a huge help and such a relief, knowing he’ll have reliable rides for the remainder of the school year. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful end to the school year. This is wish 1 of 2.
