Torrion, 20 years old

Wish submitted by:

Torrion is a dedicated and resilient young adult who entered the foster care system at 16 and has worked hard to build a stable, independent life. He lives in THP housing, works full-time, and attends Cerritos College, where he is majoring in Sociology with a minor in Film and Design. Passionate about storytelling and understanding people, Torrion enjoys analyzing films with friends and participating in creative and wellness activities like yoga, mindfulness, beach outings, and tattooing. His organization, ambition, and balance between work, school, and self-care reflect his commitment to success and personal growth.

One of the highlights of Torrion’s journey has been his participation in an intensive film and screenwriting program that meets twice a week in the evenings. This unique class culminates in a powerful opportunity: the chance to showcase his work at Paramount Pictures—a moment that could open doors in both film and television. However, attending this class comes with its challenges. It ends at 8:00 PM, and commuting home via public transportation at night raises safety concerns. A ride home would remove this barrier, ensuring Torrion can fully engage in this life-changing program without fear. This is wish 2 of 2.
