Mark, 28 years old, PA

Wish submitted by:

Mark aged out of foster care and has faced setback after setback, from unstable housing to identity theft, all while staying laser-focused on being a good father. In his free time he reads sci-fi, follows baseball and football, and collects sports cards — but his daughter is what keeps him going.

After losing his job, Mark is applying for food assistance while trying to keep meals on the table for himself and his daughter. Dinner groceries would ease the pressure and remind him he's not navigating this alone.
