Wilmer, 21 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Wilmer entered foster care at just 12 years old and spent much of his adolescence moving in and out of various placements, often lacking the stability that most young people need. Through determination, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to improving his life, Wilmer earned admission to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), one of the nation’s top public universities. Today, he is pursuing a degree in engineering while maintaining a strong GPA, which reflects both his academic capabilities and his discipline. What makes Wilmer particularly remarkable is not only his academic success but also his mindset. He is resourceful, goal-oriented, and deeply committed to creating long-term stability for himself. His interest in engineering stems from a natural curiosity about how things work and a desire to develop solutions that improve life for others. Outside of academics, he enjoys hands-on projects, problem-solving challenges, and continuously finding ways to better himself.

Wilmer is an engineering student at UCLA who is starting to prepare for internships, networking events, presentations, and future job interviews. He is requesting a professional suit to help him feel confident and ready as he takes these important steps toward his career. Having professional clothing would help Wilmer present himself well in situations that can lead to future opportunities. This support would also encourage a hardworking young man who is focused on building a stable and successful future for himself.
