Kevin, 32 years old, IL |

Wish submitted by:

Kevin is a resilient young man who has faced significant challenges throughout his life. As a former ward of the state, Kevin experienced the instability and separation of being placed into the DCFS system at a very young age. Separated from his siblings, he has navigated his journey largely on his own, aging out of the system without a supportive family network. Despite these adversities, Kevin possesses a quiet strength and a desire to improve his circumstances. His experiences have fostered a resilience and determination to find a stable and secure environment where he can begin to rebuild his life.

Kevin is focused on maintaining a safe, stable home environment, especially during colder months when heating costs can become overwhelming. Limited or inconsistent heat in certain areas of the home makes it difficult for him to stay comfortable, rest well, and focus on daily responsibilities. This space heater would provide reliable, energy-efficient warmth in the rooms Kevin uses most, helping him regulate temperature without relying on unsafe alternatives or increasing overall heating expenses. Its built-in safety features offer peace of mind, allowing Kevin to stay warm while prioritizing safety. Granting this wish would support Kevin’s comfort, health, and sense of security during the winter season, making his home feel more livable and supportive.
