Caleb M, 20 years old, AZ | NEEDED BY 04/24

Wish submitted by:

Caleb is resilient and determined, facing an unstable housing situation while working less than 20 hours a week. He currently lives in a car in front of his former mentor's house, reflecting both the challenges he faces and his effort to stay connected with those who support him. A significant event in his life served as the catalyst that led him to lose nearly everything and end up in his current predicament. Despite this difficult experience, he has managed to forge meaningful friendships and maintains a strong desire to thrive and improve his situation. He is committed to his current job and is actively seeking better opportunities that will enable him to move toward stability and independence. His story is a testament to perseverance, hope, and the motivation to overcome obstacles. With the right support, he has the potential to rebuild his life and achieve greater security and well-being.

Caleb, who is currently experiencing homelessness, faces transportation challenges that he cannot overcome on his own. He is asking for a bicycle because he works less than 20 hours a week, doing everything he can to support himself, and recently, his bicycle had parts stolen while he was at work, leaving it unusable. That bicycle was not merely a means of transportation; it was his only way of getting around and maintaining his independence. Without a method of transport, Caleb will be unable to get to work and, consequently, will be unable to cover his daily living expenses. Receiving a new bicycle would provide him with mobility, independence, and a genuine opportunity to continue working, attend important appointments, and move toward a more stable life. This could make an enormous difference in the life of someone who is striving their absolute hardest to succeed.
