Tony, 23 years old, PA | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Tony is a resilient and compassionate young man who is finally stepping into stability after years of uncertainty. Since 2021, he has navigated periods of homelessness, staying in transitional housing and with friends while working hard to rebuild his life. Despite these challenges, Tony never lost sight of who he is or what matters most to him. Tony finally secured a place of his own, a milestone that represents safety, dignity, and a fresh start. For the first time in years, he has the opportunity to create a stable and affirming home environment where he can truly exhale. Tony is currently a participant at Hand2Paw, where his love for animals shines. He is known for being friendly, open, and deeply compassionate. He naturally advocates for animals, ensuring they are treated with care and respect. Working with animals isn’t just something he enjoys; it’s where he feels purposeful and confident. His ability to connect with both people and animals speaks to his warmth and resilience.

Tony recently secured stable housing after several years of experiencing homelessness and living in transitional accommodations. As he settles into his new apartment, he needs basic household essentials, including cleaning supplies and bathroom necessities, to feel comfortable, confident, and prepared as he begins this new chapter. After years of uncertainty, having these everyday essentials will enable Tony to focus on maintaining his housing, continuing his personal growth, and moving forward with dignity and independence. This support signifies more than just supplies; it represents security, stability, and a genuine fresh start. This wish has been divided up so that Tony can get what he needs. This is wish 2 of 2.
