Elijah, 45 years old

Wish submitted by:

Elijah lost everything in the middle of winter, with just his dog Ruby giving him hope. Dogs Matter stepped in and brought him to safety. From there, he moved into sober living with Ruby by his side.

Elijah has been sober for a while and is doing well; he and his dog Ruby have made incredible progress. Elijah is wishing for basic hygiene items like toothpaste, a toothbrush, shaving cream, a razor, shampoo, body wash, and a hairbrush. These essential toiletries will help him maintain his personal care and feel more confident in daily interactions. Without consistent access to these items, it can be difficult to feel prepared and presentable, especially when pursuing work or other opportunities. Having this wish granted would provide Elijah with the dignity and comfort of self-care, which plays a vital role in his overall well-being and self-esteem. He just needs a fresh start.
