Wish submitted by:

Anthony is a resilient young man who is working to overcome past trauma. He entered care at a young age and was placed in a non-relative home. Although he struggles internally with his mental health, he approaches life with strength and positivity. He is rarely seen without a smile on his face and often spends time laughing and enjoying life. His strongest support system includes his two sisters and his best friend—people he says he couldn't imagine living without. In his free time, Anthony enjoys spending time outdoors with his friend, participating in various activities that bring him joy and peace.

Anthony just got a part-time job as a referee at a local paintball park, and he’s really excited about it. After some tough times, this job feels like a fresh start for him—a chance to be independent and make progress. He’s committed to being prepared and professional. As a paintball referee, safety is super important. One key piece of gear he needs is a good paintball mask with goggles to protect his eyes and face. Since he’ll be on the field watching players and enforcing rules, he’ll often be in the line of fire. Paintballs can fly fast and hurt if he isn't careful, so the mask will keep him safe from injuries. With the right protection, Anthony can focus on doing a great job without worrying about getting hurt. It’s all about keeping him safe and making sure he can watch the games effectively.
