George, 17 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 08/28

Wish submitted by:

George entered foster care at the young age of four after experiencing years of abuse and neglect. For a while, he found stability with his maternal aunt, who became his legal guardian. However, this arrangement changed when she decided to revoke her guardianship, which led George back into foster care at the age of 16. Despite the challenges he has faced, George has a passion for creative pursuits. He is exploring various career options, including becoming a nail technician, pursuing a career in the culinary arts, or even aspiring to be a social worker one day.

George is living in a transitional housing placement home (THP), even though he hasn't turned 18 yet. Displaying remarkable maturity for his age, he takes responsibility for his own transportation, making his way to and from school and the grocery store. As he looks ahead to the future, he hopes to secure a part-time job soon. To make his daily commute easier, he dreams of getting an electric scooter, which would help him travel to school, the grocery store, and his potential job with greater ease.
