Matthew, 20 years old, VA | NEEDED BY 05/29

Wish submitted by:

Matthew is an amazing young man, who is really into sports. Despite facing some challenges in foster care, his love for athletics has helped him stay motivated and focused on his goals. It hasn't been easy for Matthew, though -- being removed from his old school and friends has been tough. But he's a smart guy, and he's determined to graduate early and pursue his dream of joining the military and playing football for them.

Matthew recently got a job at Amazon. He is so excited because he has been wanting to work at Amazon for over a year. Matthew will be on the night shift for the first 30 days. He will then transfer to the morning shift. Matthew did some research and found out that there are no buses running when he gets off at 4:00am. Matthew asked for an Uber card to help with his transportation to and from work for 30 days. Matthew will then be able to catch a bus to and from work until he saves enough money to purchase a car. Matthew would be appreciative for any help he can get until he gets his first pay check. Helping Matthew would give him the ability to maintain his independence and get to and from work.
