Matthew, 18 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Matthew is a focused and motivated young man with clear goals for his future. Currently navigating extended foster care, he is actively developing his independent living skills and working hard to build a stable foundation for adulthood. He is incredibly interested in pursuing a construction trade program to gain hands-on skills for a lasting career. Despite facing the natural anxieties and challenges that come with transitioning to independent living, Matthew manages them with great resilience and a commitment to personal growth. Supported by a close circle of friends, a caring girlfriend, and his CASA, Matthew enjoys relaxing at the beach, playing video games, and catching up on sleep in his free time.

Matthew wants silky bed sheets because they help protect his curly hair while he sleeps. Unlike regular cotton sheets, silky or satin materials create less friction, which is important for avoiding dryness, frizz, and tangling. By using silky sheets, Matthew can keep his hair’s moisture, reduce damage, and wake up with healthier curls. This not only helps his hair care routine but also boosts his confidence as he starts his day.
