Jeremiah, 18 years old, CA | 26 DAYS WAITING

CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Jeremiah's mother has a history of substance abuse and instability. As a result, Jeremiah and his sibling were removed from her care, and their uncle became their legal guardian. However, the uncle eventually relinquished his guardianship because he and Jeremiah were unable to get along, leading to Jeremiah being kicked out of the home. Jeremiah is in extended foster care and is placed with a relative.

Jeremiah has recently graduated from high school, and his primary mode of transportation is his bike. He relies on it not only for job searching but also for engaging in various enrichment activities. He is ready to find and secure steady employment. However, he faces a challenge: his current bike is in poor condition, with loose handlebars and a wobbly middle bar that will soon need repairs. Jeremiah would be incredibly grateful to receive an electric bike, which would provide him with the reliable transportation he needs to pursue his goals.
