An electric scooter for Elijah to commute to work and school

Elijah, 21 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

San Diego Youth Services

Elijah is full of energy when he is with his closest friends and foster care workers. He is currently living in an extended foster care housing program, where he is learning to manage independent living. Elijah has faced trauma that has led to daily struggles with anxiety. By participating in therapy services, he has explored various coping skills to help him manage his anxiety. After a long journey of trying different techniques, he has found that playing musical instruments and using fidget tools are the most effective ways to cope.

Elijah is a hardworking young man balancing full-time employment with part-time community college courses. Each day requires careful time management and commitment as he navigates work, school, and home. Reliable transportation is crucial for him, and an electric scooter would significantly enhance his daily life. This scooter would provide a safe, efficient, and affordable way to commute, alleviating transportation stress and saving him valuable time. It would offer him the independence to travel without relying on others or expensive public transport options. For Elijah, the scooter is more than just a mode of transport; it's a vital resource that fosters his independence and determination to succeed. This newfound mobility would help him stay focused on his educational and career aspirations, boosting his confidence along the way.
