Dereon, 18 years old, OR | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Dereon is being raised by his grandmother, and he loves playing sports. He has just been granted a full-ride scholarship for college, and he is very excited to start this next chapter of his life. He is outgoing and makes friends easily. He is also very helpful around the house and serves as a great role model for his younger brother.

Dereon is getting ready to start college, carrying with him a habit his grandmother taught him early on: how to iron his clothes just right. He never leaves the house without looking sharp, taking pride in a crisp crease down his pants and a wrinkle-free shirt. A tabletop ironing board would let him keep up that routine in his new space, staying true to himself even as so much else changes with this next chapter. For Dereon, ironing isn't just about looking good; it's tied to his confidence and self-esteem, a small daily ritual that helps him feel put together and ready to take on the day. It would be a meaningful way to support not just his appearance, but the pride and discipline his grandmother instilled in him.
