Daniel, 28 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Daniel is a determined young father who has faced many challenges throughout his life but continues working hard to build a better future for himself and his children. Daniel and his brother experienced instability growing up, spending time in several foster homes before their father regained custody and placed them in the care of their elderly grandmother. Although she was able to provide for their basic needs, Daniel faced many obstacles during his childhood and struggled in school. Daniel remained with his grandmother until her recent passing, which left him without stable housing and forced him to live out of his car for a period of time. Despite these hardships, Daniel has continued to push forward and has recently been able to begin getting back on his feet. He is now working toward building a stable home and a brighter future. Daniel is focused on creating a safe and welcoming environment so he can strengthen his relationship with his children and work toward overnight visits with them. He is determined to prove that he is ready to take the next steps in providing a stable and loving home.

Daniel, who aged out of foster care and is currently working to rebuild his life after becoming homeless, has been doing everything he can to move forward. He is committed to improving his situation and maintaining his progress both mentally and emotionally. In addition to needing a battery, his car requires brake work to be safe for driving. This support will allow Daniel to purchase brake pads and necessary parts to ensure his vehicle is safe and reliable. Having transportation will open doors to employment opportunities that are currently out of reach and support his journey toward independence.
