Deshawn, 23 years old, OR |

Wish submitted by:

Deshawn's journey has been challenging. Growing up in foster care taught him resilience, and after aging out, he faced adulthood head-on. Life changed when he became a single father to two young children. Despite the difficulties, he is committed to providing a stable, loving home with the support of friends and family. Deshawn finds joy in outdoor adventures with his kids, teaching them to appreciate nature. When not juggling work and parenting, he enjoys leading hikes or sharing quiet moments, creating a life filled with love and laughter.

Deshawn is seeking support to purchase a new flat-screen TV for his living room because his previous television is broken, and the volume no longer works, making it unusable for him and his family. As a parent, some of his most meaningful moments are spent in the living room with his children, watching movies, cartoons, and shows together after a long day. Without a working TV, their main gathering space feels empty and incomplete, making it difficult to maintain the comfort and connection they once shared there. Replacing the TV would help restore a sense of normalcy and make his living room feel like home again. It would provide Deshawn and his kids the opportunity to bond, laugh, learn, and enjoy time together in a safe and cozy environment. A new TV is not just an entertainment item—it is a way for him to create positive memories with his children and bring warmth and togetherness back into their daily lives.
