Chris, 23 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Chris had a tough childhood, bouncing around foster homes, group homes, and juvenile detention centers. With a Samoan mother and a Black father, he often felt like he didn’t quite fit in anywhere. His early life was filled with anger and frustration, but he eventually learned to embrace his cultural background through various events and practices. Now as an adult, Chris uses his experiences to advocate for change in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. He believes that having a strong understanding of one’s culture and history is essential for healing and breaking the cycle of trauma. Chris is dedicated to empowering marginalized communities and wants to ensure that future generations have the resources and opportunities they need for brighter futures.

After bouncing around foster homes, group homes, and juvenile detention centers, Chris loves that he has a place to call home! Chris is looking for a king-size bed frame because his mattress currently sits directly on the floor, making his space feel temporary and incomplete. He wants a bed frame not just for support, but to improve his sleep and support his health. A proper bed would provide him with dignity and a dedicated place to rest and recharge. After long days, he deserves a secure, restful environment rather than a makeshift setup. A king-size would transform his room into a comforting sanctuary, giving him the peace of mind he needs for true relaxation and renewal.
