Kyle, 19 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Kyle entered foster care when he was ten years old and moved between different homes often, never staying in one place long enough to feel at home. This constant change made him feel like he didn’t belong anywhere and always made him feel like the “new kid.” Instead of letting this instability get to him, Kyle found comfort in school. He loved reading, studying, and doing well in class, which became a safe outlet for him. Over time, this interest grew into a passion for medicine. Now in college, he has dreams of becoming a doctor.

Kyle is asking for a Target gift card to help cover groceries and everyday essentials so he can keep his kitchen stocked with what he actually uses—fresh produce, proteins, pantry staples, and a few household basics. Being able to choose his own items means he can plan balanced meals, avoid waste, and stretch his budget through sales and store brands. This support will reduce week-to-week stress, make it easier to cook at home, and free up time and energy for his responsibilities at work and school. A gift card may seem simple, but it offers dignity, flexibility, and immediate stability—exactly what Kyle needs to stay focused, healthy, and moving forward.
