Josh, 24 years old, FL | NEEDED BY 08/29

Wish submitted by:

Josh was taken from his mother due to issues with supervision and unsafe living conditions. He and his brother were briefly reunited with her, but they were removed again after she was arrested for abuse and neglect. He and his brother have been placed in three different pre-adoptive homes, but those placements unfortunately failed. Now an adult, Josh lives on his own and is working to balance work, school, and having fun. He enjoys basketball and spending time with friends.

Josh has recently faced a tough situation at work, resulting in fewer hours and leaving him unsure about how to file his taxes. As a result, the IRS has started deducting money from his bi-weekly paycheck. This unexpected deduction has only compounded his struggles, making it increasingly difficult for him to cover his monthly rent and light bill. With dwindling funds, he often goes without food, and his applications for food stamps have been repeatedly denied. An Uber Eats gift card would provide Josh with the means to buy food, helping him to regain stability and get back on his feet. This request is split into two wishes. This is wish 2 of 2.
