Xavier, 18 years old, NC
Wish submitted by:
NC DSS - Duplin CountyXavier is currently enrolled in the 18–21 program and previously participated in a transitional housing program before relocating to stable housing with the support of his family. He graduated early in January 2026. He aspires to become a firefighter and is actively working toward that goal. Xavier is continuing his transition into adulthood by maintaining his own apartment, working, and enrolling in a firefighter academy.
Xavier graduated from high school early, is currently maintaining an apartment, and is enrolled in firefighter school. As he begins this new chapter, he is in need of assistance as he transitions into adulthood. Xavier thinks that a gift card would be very helpful, as it would allow him to purchase essential items for his new apartment. This support would help Xavier obtain the basic necessities he needs to continue building stability, independence, and success in this next stage of his life. This is wish 2 of 2, so Xavier can get what he needs.

Emily grants the wish for Xavier! Thanks Emily.
