Kyle, 20 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 07/15

Wish submitted by:

Kyle is in the extended foster care program and has just moved into a shared apartment with some other aged-out youth. Despite the challenges he's faced, Kyle remains hopeful and optimistic. Kyle's journey in foster care began when he was just 14 years old. His aunt was no longer able to care for him, and unfortunately, his parents have never been a part of his life. He spent the rest of his teenage years in a group home until he turned 18. Now, he's excited to be living with other foster youth who understand what he's been through. When he's not studying or working, Kyle loves to stay active by playing basketball, football, and boxing. He also enjoys staying connected with friends via Facetime and unwinding with some video games. Despite the challenges he's faced, Kyle's positive attitude and love for life are truly inspiring!

Kyle is taking a Life Science class this summer at the community college. This is his first college course, and while he’s very nervous, he’s also excited about it. The class requires an access code, which is necessary to log into the course, view the online textbook, and complete the assignments. Unfortunately, Kyle believed he had submitted the correct financial aid form for the summer session, but he accidentally submitted the one for fall. As a result, he currently has no way to pay for the book, and this has been a major source of stress for him. Having this wish granted would help Kyle complete his assignments and pass the class and boost his confidence as he begins his college journey.
