Manuel, 15 years old, MD | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Manuel has faced extreme adversity. His father was recently deported, and his mother is unwell, so he and his older siblings are taking care of themselves. Despite all the challenges he is facing, Manuel continues to push forward, recognizing the importance of pursuing his education.

Manuel, like many teenagers his age, is growing quickly. As his family works to cover essential expenses, replacing old or outgrown clothes has become a challenge. Currently, he needs clothing so that he can feel comfortable and prepared for school each day. A gift card to purchase clothes would ensure he has well-fitting, appropriate attire for school and daily activities. This support would alleviate some financial pressure on the family, allowing him to focus on his classes and thrive in high school. This is wish 2 of 2.
