Tyler, 21 years old, OR | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

After losing his mom, who was raising him as a single parent, Tyler entered foster care during one of the most painful and isolating moments of his life. Grief and loneliness weighed heavily on him, and he struggled to find a place where he felt grounded. Boxing became that outlet. Training gave him structure, discipline, and a way to release the pain he was carrying when words weren’t enough. Now, Tyler dreams of becoming a boxing coach for youth who are walking a path similar to his, young people dealing with loss, instability, and feeling alone. He wants to be the mentor he needed, using boxing not just to build strength, but to offer connection, guidance, and hope.

Tyler is asking for a McDonald's gift card so she can grab lunch with her cousins and enjoy some quality time together. She’s looking forward to sharing a fun and easy meal, catching up, and making memories over their favorite foods. Having the chance to treat herself and spend time with family would mean a lot.
