Jeison, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jeison is an inspiring young man who has spent much of his life in the foster care system. Growing up without a permanent home or steady support has been incredibly challenging for him, but through it all, Jeison has managed to stay determined and compassionate, always focused on creating a brighter future for himself. His journey has certainly not been easy. He’s navigated numerous placements, adapted to new environments, and often found himself needing to advocate for his own needs in situations where most young people can rely on support from family and friends. Despite these hurdles, Jeison has displayed remarkable strength and maturity. He’s the kind of person who knows how to keep moving forward, regardless of the obstacles he faces.

Jeison is requesting an Amazon gift card that would make a significant difference as he steps into adulthood and begins to embrace more independence. At 18, he's transitioning out of the foster care system, and it's a daunting experience to take on life's responsibilities without a solid support system. Having that gift card would allow Jeison to cover essential needs, such as clothing, hygiene products, or even some school or work supplies. More than that, it would give Jeison the chance to choose something for himself—something that brings him a bit of comfort or joy, which is something he hasn't often had while growing up in care. It's a small gesture that could mean so much during this significant time in his life. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a great shopping trip! This is wish 2 of 2.
