Corey, 21 years old, MA

Wish submitted by:

Determination and commitment are two key attributes of Corey. Despite several years of housing instability, Corey is dedicated to building a bright and successful future, rooted in financial literacy and professional skills. Despite experiences with housing instability throughout Corey’s youth and early adulthood, Corey has recently moved into an apartment through transitional housing. Plus, Corey participates in Breaktime to develop financial literacy, professional skills, and employment, and receives services through Home for Little Wanderers, an organization dedicated to helping at-risk youth and young adults achieve stability. Corey’s participation in these organizations underscores his deep commitment to growing into a successful young man.

Corey recently achieved a major milestone by transitioning into his first independent apartment. Additionally, Corey is working hard to create a manageable budget while pursuing temporary employment. While this move marks a significant step toward independence and stability, he is currently facing financial challenges in basic home upkeep. As SNAP benefits do not cover non-food essentials, a gift card would provide Corey with the cleaning and sanitation supplies he needs to maintain a healthy living environment and truly settle into his new home.
