Eden, 18 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 07/25

Wish submitted by:

Eden entered foster care after running away from home at age 15 and spending a year on his own. Since then, he has focused on turning his life around. His experiences have made him more mature, determined, and focused on building a better future. He’s also a team player and thrives in active environments like soccer, where he shows discipline and strong work ethic. Physical activity is an important part of his daily routine and personal growth. He enjoys spending time with his family, friends, and girlfriend.

Eden is requesting a phone to stay connected with his support system, which includes family and mentors. Having a phone will help him with schoolwork, job applications, and managing his responsibilities, which is essential for his journey toward independence. Recently, he has struggled to keep in touch with important obligations, and without a phone, he risks missing out on benefits and supports. As he works to complete high school, he has asked for a new phone, but no one has been able to assist him. This situation has caused Eden significant frustration in both his personal life and his studies. He would be so grateful for help with a new phone.
