Issac, 20 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Issac's childhood was tough. He grew up in foster homes, moving around a lot and never really having a stable place to call home. He was adopted twice—once when he was young, which didn’t work out, and later by a family that provided him with a more stable environment. Despite these challenges, Issac has become strong and resilient. He carries a lot of emotions from his past that he doesn’t always share, but he found an outlet through music. Issac discovered his love for playing the drums as a kid, often tapping rhythms on tables and walls. Drumming turned into more than just a hobby—it became his escape. Whenever he feels overwhelmed by his thoughts or memories, he turns to music for peace and clarity. Making beats and experimenting with sounds helps him express feelings that are hard to talk about. For Issac, music is a lifeline, helping him take control of his story and turn his pain into something meaningful.

Issac is reaching out for support in the form of a Target gift card to help him purchase groceries for himself and his young son. As a devoted father, his top priority is ensuring that his child has healthy, nutritious meals each day. However, the rising cost of food has made it increasingly challenging for him to provide these essentials consistently. With a gift card, Issac would have the opportunity to shop for groceries that not only meet their immediate needs—like fresh produce, pantry staples, and kid-friendly items his son loves—but also allow him to maintain dignity and choice in how he provides for his family. This is wish 2 of 2.
