Clothes shopping for Oscar who only owns two outfits
Oscar, 18 years old, FL
Wish submitted by:
Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach CountyOscar entered foster care at the age of seventeen after losing his home. Throughout his childhood, he faced severe neglect and abuse. Despite not having a home or family to turn to, Oscar has continued attending high school and dreams of becoming an electrician. He is working hard to overcome his shyness and learn to trust others.
Oscar has only two outfits to wear and limited access to a coin-operated laundry machine. At times, he feels embarrassed to go to school because his clothes are becoming worn, and he can’t always wash the few items he has. Despite this, he is determined to finish high school and continues to attend classes. His only wish right now is for an Amazon gift card, as he has no transportation and can only shop online. With it, he hopes to buy pants, shirts, underwear, and socks. This request is split into two wishes. This is wish 1 of 2.
Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County requests this wish for Oscar.

"Oscar, this gift is from the Lord Jesus Christ, who loves you and sees your courage. We are praying it helps meet your need for clothes as you keep pursuing school and your dream of becoming an electrician. Remember, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1 NKJV). May you know Jesus as your Provider, your strength, and the One who will never leave you."

"Dear Wish Granter, This wish was such an important one, as it truly lit up Oscar’s world. Coming into foster care as a late teen with very few belongings, this gift card made a huge impact. He was able to purchase essential clothing for school and everyday activities, giving him a sense of comfort and confidence. Oscar expressed how relieved he feels now that he doesn’t have to keep washing the same two outfits. This gift card gave him the chance to pick out new clothes, something he hasn’t been able to do in a long time. Thank you for such a generous and meaningful gift. It has made a tremendous difference in his life."
