Christopher, 19 years old | 17 DAYS WAITING

Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Christopher entered the foster care system when he was just four years old. He has a strong passion for cooking, which has inspired him to pursue a career as a chef. Despite facing many challenges, Christopher remains resilient and determined in chasing his dreams. He is taking significant steps toward building a brighter future as a professional chef.

Christopher has never had a brand-new bed of his own. He wants a memory foam mattress to finally have something comfortable and truly his—a place to rest after a long day at school, where he can feel safe and at home. A new memory foam mattress would provide Christopher with the quality rest he needs to stay focused, energized, and physically healthy during his demanding culinary training. With better sleep, he can more effectively manage stress, recover from long days in the kitchen, and continue striving toward his goals with strength and confidence.
