Terrence, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Terrence entered the foster care system as a teenager and faced many challenges when he turned 18 and moved into Extended Foster Care. It took him years to manage his mental health issues, but through resilience, he built a strong support system. He is focused on college, majoring in social work to help children who have gone through similar experiences. Terrence wants to be a voice of support and advocacy for those in need. Outside of school, he enjoys spending time with friends, dining out, and exploring his town. He is working to create a life of connection and purpose. With hope for the future, Terrence is determined to make a difference.

Terrence is a hardworking young man balancing college life, independence, and personal growth. Although he enjoys sharing an apartment with a roommate, disagreements over kitchen space can sometimes arise. Having his own mini fridge would allow him to keep his personal groceries and snacks organized, promoting a more respectful living environment. It would also be practical for his busy schedule, enabling him to grab snacks or drinks without disturbing his roommate late at night. For Terrence, a mini fridge symbolizes responsibility, privacy, and a supportive space as he works toward his goals.
