Joseph, 19 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Joseph is an optimistic young man with a great sense of humor. He's learning what it means to live on his own, a challenge made even bigger by the fact that most of his support system is out of state. Despite the distance and the learning curve that comes with it, Joseph is determined to build real independence for himself, taking things one step at a time as he figures out this new chapter on his own.

Joseph recently lost his job, not from a lack of effort, but because getting there simply wasn't reliable. Public transportation is limited in his remote area, and without a dependable way to get around, keeping steady employment has become a real challenge. An e-bike would change that, giving Joseph a reliable way to get to job interviews, start a new position, and actually keep it once he has it. More than just transportation, it would give Joseph a real sense of independence as he works to get back on his feet.
