Adonay, 13 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 02/27

Wish submitted by:

Children's Institute

Adonay has experienced homelessness for the past three and a half years after arriving in the United States. During this time, he spent some months in foster care before reuniting with his family. Now, Adonay and his family have finally moved into their first real home—a place they can truly call their own. However, they currently have no furniture or household essentials to make their new space comfortable. Despite these challenges, Adonay continues to attend school and strives to live the life of a regular person. His determination and perseverance shine through, and with the right support, he and his family can begin to build stability and comfort in their new home.

There is no better feeling than being celebrated on your birthday! This wish will provide Adonay with an extra surprise to open on their special day. Although their celebrations may look different this year, it will remind them that they are valued and remembered on this important occasion!
