Jaylen, 19 years old, NJ | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Despite facing significant adversity early in life that led to involvement in the system, Jaylen has remained resilient and determined to build a better future for himself. Now living in an independent living program, he continues to show strong personal growth through his hard work, intelligence, and commitment to positive change. Jaylen is goal-oriented, motivated, and aspires to become a mentor so he can use his experiences to support and guide other young people facing similar challenges.

Jaylen is asking for a Chipotle gift card to help him during his busy days on the go while he’s working throughout the week. Having a convenient meal option would allow him to stay fueled during long shifts without stretching his budget too thin. This small support would also help him save a few extra dollars as he works toward an important goal—saving up for a car and building more independence.
