Ray, 20 years old, MA

Wish submitted by:

Ray is a resilient and hardworking young man who has overcome housing instability to secure his own bedroom through a supportive housing program. Known by his peers as a kind and deeply caring friend, Ray maintains a positive and grateful attitude despite past challenges. He is deeply committed to personal and professional growth, actively participating in a transitional employment program in Boston where he works weekly to build professional skills and secure long-term employment.

Despite the exciting news of moving into more stable housing, Ray is struggling to afford to furnish his bedroom. Ray moved into his new apartment with only his clothes. After several weeks of sleeping on a blow-up mattress, Ray has fortunately secured a bed. He is now seeking support in making his bedroom feel more like a home. Ray is asking for an area rug from Amazon. He believes this area rug will make his room feel warmer and more comfortable. Although a rug can be viewed as cosmetic, the rug symbolizes stability to Ray. Ray would be very grateful for this gift.
