A planter for Rolando to start a vegetable garden
Rolando, 22 years old
Wish submitted by:
Hope in a SuitcaseRolando entered foster care at the age of 13 and has grown into a thoughtful and resilient young adult. He enjoys gardening, finding peace and purpose in nurturing plants and watching them thrive—an interest that reflects his own journey of growth. Rolando is known for his calm presence, strong sense of empathy, and ability to connect deeply with others. His quiet strength and dedication to personal growth make him a truly special individual with a bright future ahead.
Rolando is asking for a raised garden bed because gardening has become more than just a hobby for him—it’s a therapeutic outlet and a way to create something beautiful and meaningful. Since entering foster care at 13, Rolando has faced many challenges, but gardening has provided him with a sense of stability, responsibility, and peace. It gives him something to care for, watch grow, and be proud of. A raised garden bed would allow Rolando to expand his skills and have a designated space to grow vegetables and flowers safely and effectively. The current planting window is limited, and missing it would mean waiting an entire year for the next opportunity so he hopes to receive this quickly.
