Devante, 17 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Devante has been a proud and dedicated member of the Boys & Girls Club Teen Center for several years, consistently showing his strong BGC pride. With a passion for STEM, he enjoys exploring new ideas and expanding his knowledge in science and technology. Devante also plays an important role in helping run the BGC Café, where he demonstrates responsibility, teamwork, and leadership skills. As a first-generation college student, he is excited and motivated to begin this next chapter of his educational journey. Raised by a hardworking single mother, Devante carries with him a deep sense of determination and gratitude, using his experiences as inspiration to succeed and make the most of every opportunity ahead.

As Devante prepares to embark on his college journey, he enters this new chapter as a proud member of the Boys & Girls Club Teen program and a first-generation college student, supported by his hardworking single mother. As he adjusts to living independently in a dorm, he needs a Walmart gift card to purchase basic hygiene essentials such as shampoo, body wash, deodorant, laundry detergent, toothpaste, and mouthwash. Having access to these everyday items will help him maintain his health, confidence, and routine, allowing him to focus on his academics and fully embrace the opportunities ahead as he settles into college life. This was split up so that Devante can get what he needs. This is wish 1 of 2.
