Wish submitted by:

VA DSS - Chesapeake City County

Kyle is a great young man that is currently living in a boys group home and is working towards moving into an Independent Living Program. Kyle has been more focused on graduating and joining the Army.

Kyle is starting trade school next month to learn underwater welding. He originally wanted to join the Army, but he couldn't enlist due to his medical history, which made him feel disappointed. However, after discovering underwater welding at a workshop, he got really excited about it. He took the entrance exam for trade school and did great! Kyle lives in an independent living program and works part-time, about 20 hours a week. He’s been asking for a new pair of tennis shoes since his are worn out. Helping Kyle and other young people like him is important, as it provides them with resources for clothing, housing, and career training. This support can lead to better job opportunities and a more stable future.
