Tommy, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Tommy is a former foster youth who aged out of care. He lives in stable housing and is studying to be a welder. Tommy struggled with homelessness and managing his coursework without a permanent home. Now that he has stable housing, he can focus on his education. Motivated and goal-oriented, Tommy is working hard to build a future.

While Tommy is laser-focused on his welding program, art has become a valuable creative outlet that helps him manage stress and stay grounded. Painting gives him space to express himself outside of school and life responsibilities. He is requesting blank canvases to continue exploring this hobby, which supports his mental wellness and emotional resilience.
