Christian, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Christian was removed from his parents' home due to extreme neglect, as well as physical and verbal abuse. Throughout his childhood, he has always put the needs of his siblings first, often sacrificing his own well-being to provide for them. He took on the responsibility of paying rent and supporting his family when his parents would not. Currently, Christian is living with a friend's parents and has been working hard to establish his adult life. He has recently acquired a car and secured a better-paying job. As part of a work-study program, he attends high school to complete his senior year in the mornings and then works in the afternoons and evenings. In addition to his studies and job, Christian is a student-athlete and attends a youth group with his brothers every week. He plans to attend college in the fall to pursue a career as a police officer.

Christian is looking to get a tool set. This summer, he plans to do some side jobs to save for college expenses, and having his own tools would be very helpful. Christian has experience with house remodeling, woodworking, and working on cars. Currently, he does not own any tools and wants to start building his collection. Growing up, he had to do a lot of work on his home, which has taught him how to fix things on his own.
