Eros, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Eros is on a courageous journey toward stability, healing, and self-understanding. Navigating his mental health has not been easy, and he faces moments of doubt, uncertainty, and questioning his own abilities. Yet despite the challenges he carries, he continues to show up for himself every single day, proving that progress is not always loud—sometimes it’s quiet persistence, one step at a time. He is actively putting in the work to better himself: learning, growing, and seeking the balance he deserves. What makes his journey so remarkable is the kindness he never loses along the way. Even when he’s struggling internally, he still manages to show compassion, respect, and warmth to everyone around him.

Eros wants a toaster oven because it would help him cook easily and confidently. This appliance allows him to try new meals without feeling overwhelmed by complicated cooking or large appliances. Having a toaster oven would support his physical health, reduce stress around food, and boost his independence. It gives him a chance to manage his food anxiety and feel accomplished as he takes care of himself, one meal at a time.
