Marshall, 18 years old, CA | 16 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Marshall is a focused and motivated young man with clear goals for his future. Currently navigating extended foster care, he is actively developing his independent living skills and working hard to build a stable foundation for adulthood. He is incredibly interested in pursuing a construction trade program to gain hands-on skills for a lasting career. Despite facing the natural anxieties and challenges that come with transitioning to independent living, Marshall manages them with great resilience and a commitment to personal growth. Supported by a close circle of friends, a caring girlfriend, and his CASA. Matshall enjoys relaxing at the beach, playing video games, and catching up on sleep in his free time.

Marshall wishes for a set of dumbbells to begin working out at home. He's exploring healthy ways to manage his anxiety and support his mental well-being, but the thought of a busy gym brings on additional social anxiety, making home the more comfortable place to start. Regular exercise can help reduce stress, improve mood, and provide a healthy outlet for tension, and having dumbbells at home would give Marshall a productive way to work through moments of overwhelm at his own pace. Without the pressure of exercising around others, he'd be able to focus fully on himself and building a routine that genuinely supports his goals.
