Aubrey, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Aubrey is a bright young man attending college full-time. He is currently participating in a transitional housing program, where he consistently makes an effort to remain eligible and to be an outstanding participant. Aubrey communicates respectfully with his case workers. After spending most of his adolescence moving from group home to group home, he has developed into a productive and empathetic young adult.

Aubrey has been in transitional housing for two years and has nine months left until he ages out of the program. During his time in the program, he has focused on his education and has been a full-time college student. Aubrey is interested in developing his employment skills and has found a workshop at the Goodwill YouthSource Center that offers the opportunity to obtain a free guard card, which will allow him to apply for security positions. However, Aubrey needs help with transportation, as he does not own a car. The training is located 30 miles away from him, and a Lyft gift card would assist him in getting to some of the days during the week-long training. This was divided up so that Aubrey can get the travel assistance he needs. This is wish 1 of 2.
