Paul, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Paul entered foster care at seven years old and has experienced over 20 placements since then. He has always hoped for a long-term placement or adoption. Paul loves technology and enjoys working with electronics. He will move into an independent living placement, where he hopes to thrive, attend college, and become a self-sufficient adult.

Paul is requesting a grocery gift card to help cover food costs as he transitions into independent living. He spends a significant amount of time at school and would like to meal prep to ensure he has consistent, healthy meals. This support would ease financial stress and allow Paul to focus on his education and long-term goals as he takes this important step toward independence. Wish 2 of 2.
