Wish submitted by:

Gabe has been in and out of foster care since he was young, but through it all, he has remained remarkably resilient and optimistic. His positivity and bright smile can light up any room. Gabe enjoys spending time with friends and being outdoors, and he approaches everything he does with enthusiasm and determination. A dedicated student and hard worker, Gabe consistently excels in his studies. He hopes to attend college to pursue a degree in social work so that he can make a difference in the lives of others.

Gabe has a deep love for reading and cherishes his time spent alone with a good book. He finds that diving into a story is a wonderful way to calm his mind and escape into different worlds. Recently, he's been eager to expand his personal library and is planning a shopping trip specifically to discover new titles. While he often picks up a book or two at Target during his essential shopping trips, he’s excited about the prospect of finding some great reads.
