Peter, 39 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Peter, a first-generation college student, recently celebrated his graduation with a master's degree in Electrical Engineering from San Francisco State University in 2024. Since then, he has been on a quest for a career that leverages his skills and knowledge. In the meantime, he has been tutoring students with special needs in Math and English. After much anticipation, he is thrilled to announce that he will be teaching his first engineering course, hoping for the chance to secure a tenure opportunity in the future.

Peter is currently in urgent need of two replacement tires for his vehicle. The tires on his car are balding and are unsafe to drive on, turning what should be a simple commute into a high-stress gamble every time he gets behind the wheel. This car is Peter's only means of transportation, and he relies on it heavily to get from one job to the other each day. For someone still trying to find solid footing in the job market, the cost of a new set of tires is completely out of reach right now. Having reliable transportation is vital as it ensures Peter can keep his employment secure, while protecting the stability he has worked so hard to build. Receiving support would relieve a significant financial burden and provide real peace of mind, allowing Peter to keep moving forward on the positive path he has built for himself.
