David, 20 years old, OR | 37 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

David grew up moving between foster homes, learning early on how to adapt, listen, and find strength in unexpected places. Now a freshman in college, he’s channeling that resilience into his engineering studies. Every new class gives him another piece of the puzzle, and he’s determined to build a future where he can design, create, and contribute something meaningful. Outside of class, David keeps himself grounded with the things he loves. He plays basketball with friends, where the easy laughter and friendly competition help him unwind. His deepest passion is for horses. During his time in foster care, he participated in equine therapy, an experience that helped him heal and gave him a powerful sense of connection. That’s where his love for horses truly began, and one day he hopes to own one of his own—a reminder of how far he’s come and the life he’s building for himself.

David really wants a pair of oversized jeans. To him, they aren’t just clothing, they’re something that makes him feel comfortable and confident. He wants a relaxed fit that lets him move around easily without feeling restricted. For David, loose-fit jeans mean both comfort and style. They give him a sense of security and help him express who he is. This wish might seem simple, but it represents a bigger desire: to feel good in his own skin, be confident in the world, and have something that makes him feel seen and supported every day.
