Jordan, 22 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Jordan is a thoughtful and resilient young adult working hard to find his footing after several years of instability. He experienced the loss of his guardian at age 15 and has been navigating life largely on his own since then, cycling through periods of homelessness while trying to meet his most basic needs. Despite these challenges, he graduated from high school with a solid GPA and remains determined to pursue trade school and long-term self-sufficiency. Currently part of the AcademySTAY program, Jordan is focused on building life skills like financial literacy, budgeting, and communication—all crucial tools as he works toward stability. He’s especially eager to connect with mentors or counselors who can offer guidance and encouragement, like the social worker who once made a big difference in his life. Jordan isn’t looking for shortcuts—just a chance to pause survival mode long enough to pursue his goals. With support, he’s ready to rebuild and create a future that reflects his strength, intelligence, and potential.

Jordan doesn’t currently own a jacket or sweater, and as colder days settle in, having something warm and reliable to wear has become a priority. He’s asked for a black Nike jacket—something simple, durable, and versatile that he can wear to appointments, job interviews, or just day-to-day as he moves through his routine. This gift is about more than warmth. It’s about dignity. After years of housing instability, Jordan is working hard to rebuild. A well-fitting jacket that he feels good in would help him show up feeling confident, prepared, and cared for as he takes steps toward his goals.
