Ryan F, 11 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Ryan is currently living with his grandmother, who has provided him with a stable and loving home after a tumultuous start to life. For the first few years, Ryan faced homelessness and was often in unsafe environments, but his situation has greatly improved since being placed with her. Despite the chaos of his early years, Ryan has adjusted remarkably well to his new life. He has a strong desire to learn and read, finding joy in comic books and a fascination with history. Plus, he uses a comprehension book for his classes, further nurturing his love for learning.

Ryan is unable to get personal hygiene right now, and would appreciate being able to get deodorant, gel, hair ties, a new toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo & conditioner to last this month and the next. Ryan is raised by his grandmother and sometimes there are struggles. Ryan doesn't want to be embarrassed because of body odor or bad breath.
