Issiah, 19 years old | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Issiah is a resilient, determined adolescent. He has a history of being physically abused which resulted into behavioral and mental health issues. Today, Issiah is healthy and thriving. He attends a 2-year program at vocational school for welding. He has a full-time job. Issiah is mature, cordial, and has a positive outlook on future.

Issiah bought his first used car in August after getting his driver’s license. He drives it every day to school and work. He’s responsible for keeping up with the car’s maintenance and also pays part of his insurance. Getting help with a gas gift card would really ease some of his financial stress. He’s also working on building his credit with a credit card, using it for small buys and making sure to pay it off on time. This gift would let him focus on his other bills while still covering his gas costs. With the extra help, Issiah can better plan his budget and save more money. This is wish 1 of 2.
