Maury, 22 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Maury 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 currently attending trade school full-time, training to pursue a career in HVAC. He is highly motivated to build a future that offers both purpose and financial stability. However, hands-on training requires the right equipment, especially work boots designed for safety and long hours on the job. The Timberland PRO steel-toed work boots provide essential steel-toe protection, slip resistance, and lasting comfort, making them perfect for the type of work Maury is engaged in. At the moment, he does not have the resources to purchase this high-quality gear on his own. Having these boots will enable him to be prepared and protected, effectively turning his classroom education into job readiness. This is an important step toward achieving long-term independence.
