David, 19 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

David grew up moving between foster homes, learning early on how to adapt, listen, and find strength in unexpected places. Now a freshman in college, he’s channeling that resilience into his engineering studies. Every new class gives him another piece of the puzzle, and he’s determined to build a future where he can design, create, and contribute something meaningful. Outside of class, David keeps himself grounded with the things he loves. He plays basketball with friends, where the easy laughter and friendly competition help him unwind. His deepest passion is for horses. During his time in foster care, he participated in equine therapy, an experience that helped him heal and gave him a powerful sense of connection. That’s where his love for horses truly began, and one day he hopes to own one of his own—a reminder of how far he’s come and the life he’s building for himself.

David needs a zip-up jacket to wear as an everyday layer that keeps him warm while still looking neat and put-together. A zip-up jacket is perfect for cooler mornings, school, and running errands because it’s comfortable, easy to throw on, and can be worn with almost anything. David needs a reliable jacket he can wear regularly, and this zip-up would give him a durable, go-to option that helps him feel confident and prepared each day.
