Isaiah, 20 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Isaiah entered foster care at the age of 11 and was adopted when he turned 17. While adoption provided him with a permanent family, it didn't erase the challenges he faced in transitioning to adulthood. Isaiah has been exploring his options for both college and employment, which has presented some difficulties, particularly with the enrollment process. However, he recently began attending college and is thriving academically. His remarkable strengths in memory and comprehension have greatly contributed to his success in his classes, helping him to navigate this new chapter in his life.

Isaiah recently lost his job and, due to financial challenges, had to sell his vehicle. Without reliable transportation, it has become much harder for him to get to job interviews, work opportunities, and other important appointments. Despite these setbacks, Isaiah is focused on building a brighter future. He plans to enroll in a trade program at a local college to gain new skills and improve his employment opportunities. An electric scooter would provide him with dependable transportation to attend classes, travel to interviews, and get where he needs to go safely and independently. This wish would help remove a major barrier in Isaiah's life, allowing him to stay focused on his education and career goals. Reliable transportation would give him greater independence and support his efforts to create long-term stability for himself.
