Chris, 22 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Chris's childhood was marked by instability, moving between foster homes, group homes, and juvenile detention facilities. Born to a Samoan mother and a Black father, he often felt caught between cultures without a true sense of belonging. His early years were filled with anger and frustration, but he later embraced his heritage and connected with his roots through cultural events and practices. Now an adult, Chris channels his experiences into advocacy and systems reform, aiming to support youth in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. He believes that understanding one’s culture and history is essential for healing and breaking cycles of trauma. Committed to making a difference, he focuses on empowering marginalized communities and ensuring future generations have the resources and opportunities they need for brighter futures.

Chris is asking for a pair of Jordan sweatpants to wear this winter to stay warm. With temperatures dropping, they’re hoping for something cozy and durable that can handle chilly mornings and late-night errands, while still looking clean and stylish. A soft fleece interior, a relaxed fit, and sturdy cuffs would make a big difference in comfort, and the Jordan logo adds a touch of sport-inspired flair. Overall, Chris just wants a dependable, warm pair of sweats to get through the season.
