Wish submitted by:

Xan has spent most of his life in foster care, navigating instability, fear, and constant change. Despite the challenges he has faced, Xan has held onto a deep resilience that continues to guide him into adulthood. Today, he is determined to build a stable, independent life for himself—one grounded in growth, responsibility, and hope. Now newly stepping into adulthood, Xan is doing his best to navigate this next chapter with openness and a willingness to learn. He is kind, friendly, and thoughtful, often forming genuine connections with those around him. His creativity shines through his love for tattoos and piercings, and he finds joy in gaming and spending time with friends—activities that help him feel grounded and connected. Xan is working hard to overcome the barriers that come with growing up in care, and he is taking meaningful steps toward independence. With continued support, he can build the strong foundation he deserves as he creates a future defined not by his past, but by his determination and potential.

Xan is hoping to receive an Owala water bottle to help him build healthier routines as he steps into adulthood. After spending most of his life in foster care, consistency and self-care have been difficult to maintain. Now, Xan is working hard to establish positive habits and structure in his daily life. Having a durable, high-quality water bottle would support his goal of staying hydrated, taking care of himself, and feeling more organized throughout the day. This small but important item would be a daily reminder that he is deserving of care, stability, and support as he continues striving to become more independent.
