Xan, 18 years old, CA | 7 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Xan has spent most of his life in foster care, navigating instability, fear, and constant change. Despite the challenges he has faced, Xan has held onto a deep resilience that continues to guide him into adulthood. Today, he is determined to build a stable, independent life for himself—one grounded in growth, responsibility, and hope. Now newly stepping into adulthood, Xan is doing his best to navigate this next chapter with openness and a willingness to learn. He is kind, friendly, and thoughtful, often forming genuine connections with those around him. His creativity shines through his love for tattoos and piercings, and he finds joy in gaming and spending time with friends—activities that help him feel grounded and connected. Xan is working hard to overcome the barriers that come with growing up in care, and he is taking meaningful steps toward independence. With continued support, he can build the strong foundation he deserves as he creates a future defined not by his past, but by his determination and potential.

Xan is working hard toward building stability and independence, and having a comfortable living space plays a huge role in that journey. As the temperatures continue to rise, his apartment can become very warm, making it difficult to rest, focus, and recharge after long days. Xan is requesting a standing or oscillating fan to help keep his room cool. A fan would not only improve his comfort but also support his overall well-being by promoting better sleep and concentration. Something as simple as proper airflow can make a big difference in maintaining a healthy routine and feeling at ease in his own space.
