Louis, 20 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Louis spent much of his childhood bouncing between different foster homes and group placements, never quite feeling like he belonged anywhere. The instability shaped him, making him resilient but also somewhat guarded. As he got older, he aged out of the foster care system, left with nothing but a few belongings in a duffel bag and the desire to carve out a future for himself. Despite the challenges, Louis has always dreamed of something bigger, a purpose beyond surviving day-to-day. He has aspirations of becoming a firefighter. The idea of saving lives, protecting nature, and facing the raw power of fire fills him with both awe and determination.

Louis wants a Target gift card to buy some basic hygiene products and a few new white T-shirts. For him, feeling clean and confident is really important. Being able to choose his own items would make him feel more comfortable and dignified, which is a big step as he works on feeling better about himself. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful shopping trip. This is wish 2 of 2.
