Daniel, 28 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Daniel is a determined young father who has faced many challenges throughout his life but continues working hard to build a better future for himself and his children. Daniel and his brother experienced instability growing up, spending time in several foster homes before their father regained custody and placed them in the care of their elderly grandmother. Although she was able to provide for their basic needs, Daniel faced many obstacles during his childhood and struggled in school. Daniel remained with his grandmother until her recent passing, which left him without stable housing and forced him to live out of his car for a period of time. Despite these hardships, Daniel has continued to push forward and has recently been able to begin getting back on his feet. He is now working toward building a stable home and a brighter future. Daniel is focused on creating a safe and welcoming environment so he can strengthen his relationship with his children and work toward overnight visits with them. He is determined to prove that he is ready to take the next steps in providing a stable and loving home.

Daniel is currently focused on achieving greater stability and independence. Reliable transportation is crucial for him to get to work, attend appointments, and access community resources. A gas gift card would help alleviate some of the financial burden associated with transportation, enabling him to continue pursuing opportunities that support his goals. Additionally, Daniel is excited about the newly opened Buc-ee's and would love the chance to visit the new travel center while traveling to and from his destinations.
