Miguel, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Miguel is a former foster youth who entered the foster care system at a young age and has faced ongoing challenges related to feelings of abandonment. He is working full-time while also attending school. For years, he has found significant emotional comfort and stability through his strong bond with his cat.

Miguel is requesting assistance with a microwave to support his ability to safely and consistently prepare meals. Currently, he has limited access to appliances that allow him to reheat food efficiently, making it challenging for him to maintain regular and nutritious meals. Having a microwave would enable Miguel to heat prepared meals, reduce food waste, and better manage his time, particularly as he balances daily responsibilities. This essential household item would support his stability and overall well-being by ensuring reliable access to warm, healthy food in his living environment.
