Justin, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Justin has been in foster care since he was just two years old and was raised by his grandparents. Although his childhood came with many challenges, he never let his circumstances define him. Instead, they became the motivation behind his drive to build a better life. Today, he is attending college and working toward his goal of becoming a social worker so he can give back and support youth who have experienced similar hardships. He is incredibly proud of how far he has come and remains determined to continue growing and creating a positive future for himself.

Justin is requesting a guitar to reconnect with something that once brought him comfort and joy. In high school, playing the guitar served as a form of therapy for him and helped him navigate difficult times. It provided a healthy outlet for self-expression and created some of his most cherished memories. Now, Justin hopes to return to playing again. He believes that having a guitar will not only restore that sense of peace but also allow him to create new memories and continue growing in a positive direction. This wish means a great deal to him as he focuses on his future and personal well-being.
