Gabriel, 25 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Gabriel's experience in foster care has taught him resilience and growth. Although he faced instability from a young age, he stayed hopeful and determined. Moving between different homes helped him become adaptable and self-reliant. His main strengths are his perseverance and emotional intelligence, which help him stay calm under pressure and find creative solutions. Gabriel leads by example, pushing forward even when faced with challenges. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, camping, listening to music, sketching, and learning about wildlife, finding inspiration in nature. His quiet strength, shaped by his past, motivates him to be kind and give back to others.

Gabriel is asking for a Crazy Creek chair because camping and being outdoors are a major part of how he finds peace and connection. Having a comfortable, portable chair would allow him to spend more time doing what he loves, connecting with nature, journaling by the fire, or simply sitting under the stars with a good book. It's a small thing that would bring him comfort, stability, and joy during the moments when he needs to reset and reconnect. For someone who has had to carry a lot on his own, having something dependable like this chair would make a real difference in his day-to-day outdoor experiences.
