Patrick’s journey has been shaped by years spent in and out of juvenile detention facilities, foster homes, and group homes. Despite these challenges, he is determined to carve out a new path for himself beyond the system. With a passion for art, Patrick is focused on envisioning a life outside the confines of his past experiences. He dreams of studying art in college, eager to refine his talent and explore new creative outlets. His unique perspective is evident in how he transforms everyday, overlooked objects into stunning works of art, finding beauty and expression in what others might disregard. Patrick's work is a testament to his resilience, creativity, and hope for a future where he can thrive on his own terms.

Patrick is requesting a Target gift card to assist his family in keeping food on the table during the government shutdown. With services disrupted and SNAP benefits delayed or uncertain, even a routine grocery trip has become a significant strain on his budget. A Target gift card would enable him to purchase food, household essentials, and fresh produce without having to choose between paying bills and buying meals. Your support would provide immediate relief and stability as he navigates this temporary gap in assistance.
