Ron, 19 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Ron is a resilient young person who, along with his three siblings, entered foster care after their parents were incarcerated. Despite the challenges, Ron has become a protector and leader for his siblings, often prioritizing their needs. A natural athlete, Ron enjoys playing basketball and football, using sports as a way to clear his mind and manage stress. He also loves being outdoors, whether it’s running with his siblings or simply enjoying nature. Through his passion for sports, Ron not only faces his own challenges but also sets an example for his siblings, showing them the importance of self-care and supporting each other in tough times.

Ron is preparing to attend a conference in two weeks and is asking for support with a Lyft gift card to help offset travel costs. With transportation adding up, having assistance would make it easier for him to focus on showing up, learning, and making the most of this opportunity.
