Leo, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Leo is a determined young man who has faced many challenges in the foster care system. Despite this, he remains warm and kind, and he loves connecting with people. He has graduated from high school and is determined to find his first job and continue his education. With his motivation and hope for the future, he is ready to take the next steps in his life and achieve his dreams with a bit of support.

Leo is still learning how to prioritize himself and his well-being. One area he has been eager to explore is self-care—something that may seem simple to others, but for Leo, it represents an important step toward confidence and self-worth. A gift card to Bath & Body Works would give Leo the opportunity to choose items like cologne, soaps, and lotions that make him feel cared for. He wishes to own cologne and high-quality body wash—things he has never had the chance to purchase before. These items help him feel fresh, confident, and proud of the way he presents himself to the world. This request is split into two parts. This is wish 1 of 2.
