Miguel, 20 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Miguel lived with his uncle because his parents were struggling, and it wasn’t safe for him to be with them. His uncle worked hard to give Miguel a stable home, but as Miguel grew older, he ended up in foster care as a teenager. This was a difficult change, and adjusting to a new home was hard for him. During this tough time, he found comfort in nature. Camping became his way to escape and relax. Miguel has two younger siblings still in foster care, and he hopes they can be reunited with their uncle soon. He stays in touch with them to show they’re not alone, and he is determined to support them, just like he wished he had support when he first entered foster care.

Miguel is currently in between jobs and could really use some support with groceries during this transition. A Fred Meyer gift card would be a tremendous help, allowing him to purchase food and other everyday essentials as he strives to get back on his feet. This thoughtful gift would ease some of the financial pressure he’s facing and ensure that he has what he needs at home.
