Theo, 19 years old | 32 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Theo is pursuing a degree in fine arts with a concentration in painting, though his true passion is in illustration. In his free time, he enjoys crocheting, reading, and watching dramas and horror movies. His mother currently lives in the Dominican Republic and is unable to move to the United States. He is not in contact with his father or his father's family due to past mistreatment while living with them. Despite these challenges, Theo remains dedicated to his artistic endeavors and continues to develop his creative skills.

Theo wishes for an easel to make painting and creating art outside of the school studio much more accessible. Without his own studio, he is limited in when he can work, as he cannot use the school’s easels when the building is closed or when the weather makes it difficult to walk across campus. Having his own easel would allow him to produce more artwork and finally start the illustrated book he has been planning for years. This gift would provide him with the flexibility and space he needs to fully explore his creativity and grow as an artist.
