Matthew, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Matthew is a focused young man with clear goals for his future. Currently in extended foster care, he is developing independent living skills and aiming to earn his high school diploma. He is interested in a construction trade program to gain hands-on skills for stable employment. Despite facing challenges in transitioning to independent living and experiencing anxiety, he manages it well and is committed to personal growth. Matthew has a supportive circle of friends, a caring girlfriend, and his CASA for guidance. In his free time, he enjoys the beach, playing video games, and catching up on sleep. Overall, he is a motivated individual working towards a stable future.

Matthew is hoping for a supportive gaming chair that he can use for multiple purposes. When working on homework and assignments, he often spends hours seated at his desk. A proper chair with back support will help improve his posture, reduce strain, and provide the comfort he needs to stay focused for longer periods of time. Sitting for extended hours without the right support can lead to discomfort and distraction, which makes completing schoolwork even more challenging. In addition to school, Matthew also uses video games as a healthy outlet. At times, getting immersed in his games helps him decompress, manage stress, and redirect his thoughts when he feels overwhelmed. Having a comfortable chair would enhance both his study time and his downtime, creating a balanced space where he can work hard and recharge when needed.
