Miguel, 20 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 05/08

Wish submitted by:

Miguel lived with his uncle because his parents were struggling, and it wasn’t safe for him to be with them. His uncle worked hard to give Miguel a stable home, but as Miguel grew older, he ended up in foster care as a teenager. This was a difficult change, and adjusting to a new home was hard for him. During this tough time, he found comfort in nature. Camping became his way to escape and relax. Miguel has two younger siblings still in foster care, and he hopes they can be reunited with their uncle soon. He stays in touch with them to show they’re not alone, and he is determined to support them, just like he wished he had support when he first entered foster care.

Miguel is asking for a gift card for his birthday so he can order snacks, drinks, and a few supplies to host a cozy movie night at home with his closest friends. For Miguel, celebrating isn’t about going out; it’s about creating a comfortable space where everyone can relax, laugh, and enjoy time together. With this gift, he can pick out all the essentials for the perfect night in, from favorite treats to fun extras that make the evening feel special.
