Diego, 18 years old, MO

Wish submitted by:

Diego is a great kid who is striving to make a difference in any way he can. He plans to attend a technical career center to earn his HVAC License. However, that is not the only thing Diego does; he is an active member of both the Local Youth Advisory Board for our area and State Youth Advisory Board, where he is Currently serving as Board President!

Diego is currently in transitional living, learning how to live independently. He has secured a job at the county road department, where he mows ditches and handles other tasks. However, his apartment doesn’t have a washer and dryer, and he can only go to the laundromat every two weeks. As a result, he is wearing his nicer clothes to work. This situation allows him to choose plenty of shirts suitable for the long, hot days at work and helps preserve his nicer clothing. This wish was divided up so that Diego can get several new shirts. This is wish 2 of 2.
