Jermiah, 18 years old, GA

Wish submitted by:

Jeremiah is a determined, hardworking young man who has overcome incredible challenges. After experiencing homelessness with his single, hard-working mom who often worked double shifts to keep them afloat, Jeremiah refused to give up. Living with juvenile diabetes has only strengthened his discipline and focus. Jeremiah just got accepted to barber school and is ready to start his next chapter.

Jeremiah is a hardworking young man who recently graduated from high school and completed an apprenticeship program. He was recently accepted to barber school to turn his passion for cutting hair into a career. Right now, his biggest challenge is transportation. He doesn’t yet have his driver’s license, and public transit doesn’t reliably reach the school. Having Uber rides for his first semester will allow him to attend every class safely and on time until he’s able to drive himself. This wish would help Jeremiah stay consistent, build his future, and take one big step closer to independence. This wish is divided into two parts. This is wish 2 of 2.
