Kyle, 19 years old, OR | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kyle entered foster care when he was ten years old and moved between different homes often, never staying in one place long enough to feel at home. This constant change made him feel like he didn’t belong anywhere and always made him feel like the “new kid.” Instead of letting this instability get to him, Kyle found comfort in school. He loved reading, studying, and doing well in class, which became a safe outlet for him. Over time, this interest grew into a passion for medicine. Now in college, he has dreams of becoming a doctor.

Kyle is asking for a lantern to help provide light and comfort during outdoor activities and everyday use. A lantern would be especially helpful for camping trips, evenings outside, or keeping nearby during power outages and nighttime activities. This is a practical item that Kyle could use throughout the summer and beyond, helping him feel more prepared and comfortable while spending time outdoors or with family and friends.
