Matthew, 21 years old

Wish submitted by:

Matthew is a young man who has spent most of his life in state custody. At 18, he worked hard to secure stable housing, and since then, he has put in significant effort to maintain that independence. Although he's still exploring his options for the future, one thing is clear: Matthew is eager to find a job that will allow him to support himself and continue his journey toward thriving on his own. Known for his engaging personality, Matthew is a true people person with a unique sense of humor. He’s seeking avenues that inspire him to either pursue work or consider going back to school. While he has faced challenges with substance use in the past, he has proudly maintained his sobriety for several months now. Matthew is determined and ready to refocus on his goals, excited about the possibilities that lie ahead!

Matthew has faced several challenges after aging out of the foster system, but at the beginning of the year, he began to turn his life around. Despite experiencing some ups and downs, he has finally found stability and is now living in a supportive environment. He is working on repairing relationships with his family, has secured a job, and is taking steps to break free from old patterns. It's truly inspiring to see him rediscover himself and grow even more! Currently, he has a mattress but no frame, so he is sleeping on the floor. He would be incredibly excited to receive a bed frame with an LED headboard!
