Koda, 23 years old, UT

Wish submitted by:

Koda is a wonderful young man who aged out of Utah's foster care system. He is currently facing houselessness' but remains in high spirits.

Koda just got his flagging certification for a construction job and needs a safety vest to work. This new job is a big step toward getting him out of homelessness. At his company, workers either rent their equipment daily or provide their own. Koda has to rent a safety vest, but his shift ends at 7 PM, and he gets fined if he returns the equipment after 5 PM. These fines are really hurting his budget as he tries to save money for a better future. Koda can’t afford to buy the vest himself, so any help from the community would mean he can work without facing fines and get closer to finding housing.
