Gage, 19 years old, OH | 6 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Gage has faced more challenges than most at a young age. He entered foster care at just 8 years old due to his mother’s substance use and was unable to receive the care he needed. Over the years, he moved from home to home, eventually being placed in a group home where he spent several years trying to find stability. After aging out of the system at 18 without family support, Gage experienced homelessness. Despite these hardships, he remained determined. He found a sense of safety when a young woman and her family opened their garage to give him a place to stay.Through it all, Gage has shown resilience and motivation. He secured a job and is actively working to finish school by enrolling in online classes.

Gage has recently been offered a travel trailer as a more stable housing option, but it requires some repairs due to water damage from a previous leak before he can fully settle in. One of the key items he needs is a shower organizer, which would greatly assist him in addressing his basic hygiene needs. Securing this item would help him make the necessary repairs and bring him one step closer to having a safe, functional, and comfortable place to call home.
