Andrew, 24 years old, CA | 7 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

At the age of 13, Andrew entered foster care after being abandoned by their mother, having previously experienced homelessness and difficulty in school. They navigated through various group homes, each lacking the stability they yearned for. Now, for the first time, they have found a true home and are working hard to build a lasting and meaningful life for themselves.

Andrew would like a desk for his new home to create a dedicated, functional space for studying and working. He is currently completing his schoolwork while also working online, making access to an appropriate workspace especially important. Without a desk, it can be difficult for him to stay organized, concentrate, and complete assignments and employment-related responsibilities comfortably. A desk would give Andrew a designated area to study, attend virtual meetings, complete online work, and organize his school and employment materials. As he continues settling into his home and building greater independence, this assistance would help him create an environment that supports his education, employment, productivity, and long-term goals.
