Orlando, 21 years old, OR |

Wish submitted by:

Orlando's early childhood was marked by instability in foster homes until his grandmother provided a stable kinship placement. This nurturing environment allowed him to discover a talent for working with his hands and a passion for cars. Now training to be a mechanic, Orlando feels at home in the shop and dreams of opening his own auto repair business. His goal is to not only pursue his passion but also create opportunities for other young people like himself, turning his challenges into a foundation for independence and purpose.

This Christmas, Orlando is keeping his wish simple and cozy—he’s asking for a brand-new hoodie. He loves having something warm, comfortable, and easy to throw on for school, hanging out, or just relaxing at home. A fresh hoodie would be the perfect addition to his wardrobe, especially with the colder weather approaching. Whether it’s a bold color, a cool design, or something classic and neutral, Orlando is excited about getting something that reflects his style. Out of all the things he could ask for, a new hoodie is the one gift he truly hopes to unwrap this year.
