Rolando, 22 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 06/06

Wish submitted by:

Rolando 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.

***Thanks to a few amazingly generous supporters who are underwriting the cost of select wishes, this wish is just $25 – today and tomorrow only!*** Rolando is requesting a Home Depot gift card so he can purchase vegetable starter plants, gardening tools, a water hose, and soil for his garden. Gardening has become an important way for him to stay grounded, and he wants to grow his own food—not just as a hobby, but also to eat healthier and save money. With the rising cost of groceries, starting a vegetable garden will give Rolando more control over what he eats and help him stretch his budget. The planting season is closing quickly, and he needs to get his garden started soon. He would be incredibly grateful for this support! This is wish 1 of 2.
