Mike, 18 years old, TX | NEEDED BY 10/03

Wish submitted by:

Mike is a creative young dad who is deeply committed to building the life he dreams of for himself and his kids. After aging out of foster care at 18, he faced some challenges that led him to reach out to his support team and return to care for assistance. Currently, he is living with a family member while working diligently to secure independent housing. Mike has big aspirations; he dreams of graduating high school, attending business school, and growing his clothing line—all while getting back into music. His creativity, drive, and commitment shine through in everything he does, as he strives to create a bright future for himself and his little ones.

Mike is on the verge of gaining independence in his daily commute! He recently acquired a car and is just weeks away from obtaining his driver's license. Currently, he relies on Uber for part of his travel to work and school, which can be an added expense. To ease this burden as he works towards his license, an Uber gift card would be incredibly helpful in covering his transportation costs. This wish has been divided up so that Mike can get a few rides. This is wish 1 of 2.
