Carlos, 19 years old, OR | 12 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Carlos finds joy and peace in the kitchen and through music. Cooking is his happy place. Being outside in nature brings him a sense of peace and helps him feel calm amidst life’s chaos. Carlos's journey hasn’t been easy, having moved around a lot as a kid after being separated from his parents. Although he hoped to return home, that dream didn’t come true. Still, Carlos stays positive and resilient, believing he can build a future filled with growth in both his garden and his kitchen.

Carlos is seeking a new pair of dress pants to ensure he has appropriate attire for church, as he currently lacks any nice clothing suitable for the occasion. Attending church holds significant importance for him, and having the right dress pants would enable him to feel respectful, confident, and comfortable in that environment. This request goes beyond just clothing; it is about dignity and belonging. A new pair of dress pants would empower Carlos to feel prepared and welcomed, making a meaningful difference in his ability to engage fully in both church and community life.
