Ryan, 20 years old, NM | 12 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ryan recently experienced a change in his living situation after aging out of the foster care system. He was previously living with relatives, but due to his developmental delays, they were no longer able to provide the level of care he needs. Ryan has since moved closer to his biological mother so he can access additional services and support to help him build the skills needed for independent living. In his free time, Ryan enjoys writing music and dreams of one day creating and sharing his own songs. He is also motivated to attend college so he can further explore his passions and continue working toward his goals.

Ryan is stepping into college, and he knows the stakes are high — new classes, new deadlines, and no one there to remind him. He refuses to let a missed assignment or forgotten appointment derail his hard work. That's why he wants a dry erase board: a simple, visible anchor he can rely on every single day to stay on track, stay prepared, and stay in control of his future. This whiteboard will help Ryan remain organized and aware of all the tasks he has for the days and week ahead.
