Cody, 22 years old, CA | 4 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kamalii Foster Family Agency

Cody is a motivated young man ready to start college. As a former foster youth, he has faced many challenges but remains focused on building a better future for himself and others. He will major in Psychology with the goal of becoming a mental health counselor for youth who have experienced trauma. Cody wants to be the supportive figure he lacked growing up, listening and helping others heal. He is known for his compassion, dependability, and self-awareness. Outside of school, he enjoys writing poetry, playing basketball, and hiking, finding peace in nature. Cody is determined to turn his struggles into purpose and make the most of his college journey.

Cody is requesting an Amazon gift card to help him purchase essential items as he prepares to begin college. As a former foster youth, Cody is entering this new chapter with limited financial resources and no family support to help him cover the numerous expenses associated with starting school. From textbooks and school supplies to dorm room essentials and basic living items, there’s a long list of things he needs to be fully prepared. An Amazon gift card would give Cody the flexibility to get exactly what he needs, when he needs it, while allowing him to focus on what really matters—his education and personal growth. This support will not only ease some of the financial burden but also remind Cody that he’s not alone on this journey. This request is split into two parts. This is wish 2 of 2.
