Victor, 18 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Victor is a great young man who is focused on overcoming his past trauma. He currently lives in a group home and is working toward transitioning into extended foster care housing. With limited family support nearby, Victor relies on his group home staff and extended foster care team for guidance and encouragement. He consistently shows respect and gratitude toward his team, appreciating everything they have done for him. Victor has a great sense of humor, often making his team laugh and reminding them to enjoy life.

Victor is about to start an exciting new chapter in his life—he’s moving out of a group home and into his very first apartment next week. After working hard, he recently graduated from high school and feels proud of what he’s accomplished. He’s also enrolled in a two-year welding program, where he’s been learning for the past few months. This is an important step toward a stable and independent future. However, moving out comes with some challenges. Without the support from the group home, Victor won’t have transportation assistance to get to and from his welding program. He has a PRONTO card for public transport, but unfortunately, the bus doesn’t run late enough for him to get home safely after classes. This is where an Uber gift card could really help. It would give Victor a reliable way to get home, relieving any stress or worry about getting stranded. This support would help him focus on his studies and continue attending the program regularly. An Uber gift card would not just be about getting home; it would also support Victor's journey towards independence and success.
