Wish submitted by:
AcademySTAYMaury is a focused and hardworking young man who’s building his future one step at a time. After years of school disruption due to frequent placement changes, he’s now thriving in JobCorps—completing his high school diploma and receiving hands-on HVAC training. He moved into AcademySTAY in fall 2024 and spent a year sharpening life skills like budgeting, time management, and saving toward a car. Maury also works as a telecom sales representative. His next goal is full-time employment in a skilled trade—ideally HVAC or maintenance—where he can apply everything he’s worked so hard to learn.
Maury is in trade school training for a career in HVAC while living independently and managing a tight budget. As he moves between classes, job training, and his program housing, a reliable winter jacket is essential. This lightweight, packable puffer will help him stay warm and dry without weighing him down. It’s a practical and important layer that supports his comfort, health, and focus as he works toward his goals—even on the coldest days.
