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 simple necessities like a pillow and blanket. Ray moved into his new apartment with only his clothes. After several weeks of sleeping on a blow-up mattress, Ray has fortunately been able to secure a bed. He is now seeking support in making his bedroom feel more like a home. Ray is asking for a pillow and blanket from Amazon as he is currently sleeping on a bare mattress. He believes this will make his room feel more comfortable and improve his quality of sleep.
