Xon, 23 years old, CA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Xon is deeply creative, channeling that energy into art, music, and internships where he can put his creative abilities to work. Beyond music and art, he also enjoys building projects, some of which he's even sold. He's especially passionate about herbalism, gardening, and homesteading, spending much of his time reading about plants and growing food, then turning what he grows or preserves into homemade meals. While transitioning into adulthood, Xon has had to navigate housing instability, unsafe environments, and managing his mental health. Even so, he continues moving forward, participating in programs that support his needs and help him work through these challenges. Growing up in foster care and living in many different places taught Xon resilience, adaptability, and independence. He enjoys learning new skills, taking on creative projects, and finding ways to grow through difficulty, experiences that have shaped his empathy, determination, and ability to connect with people from all kinds of backgrounds.

Xon would benefit greatly from a dresser with built-in LED lights, both for storing clothes and for easing the discomfort of dark spaces. The dresser's built-in charging station would also help, since outlets are limited in Xon's current placement. Beyond the practical storage, a tidy, organized dresser would support the clean-room requirement of Xon's housing situation. Just as importantly, the LED lighting would help ease a genuine fear of the dark, making it easier for Xon to fall asleep at night and, in turn, stay on time and alert for school the next day.
