Abdul, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Abdul is a true gentleman, always greeting everyone with a friendly smile and a positive attitude. He is a hardworking young man who skillfully balances school, work, and his social connections. Abdul resides in a transitional housing program through foster care as he learns to navigate the transition into adulthood. He has a passion for soccer and values maintaining a clean personal space.

Abdul is in need of a dental deep cleaning, a service he hasn't been able to receive since high school. Unfortunately, his insurance does not cover this necessary procedure. As he approaches his 21st birthday, he faces the challenge of aging out of extended foster care support. Balancing his responsibilities, Abdul is working part-time while attending college full-time, managing to pay for his rent and transportation on his own. Without any family in the country to provide support, Abdul is navigating this difficult time independently.
