Ethan, 19 years old, CA | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Ethan is a bright and determined young man rewriting his life story. After feeling unseen and hopeless in the foster care system, he has chosen to believe in himself and pursue a brighter future. Despite his challenges, he radiates kindness and humility, embodying perseverance and resilience. Each day, he proves that with stability and support, young adults can thrive despite their hardships. Ethan dreams of completing his degree, building a stable career, and giving back to others who share his experiences.

Learning to cook for yourself is one of those quiet milestones of independence, and for Ethan, a set of pots and pans would represent exactly that. As he continues refurnishing his apartment into a space that feels comfortable and truly his own, quality cookware would let him prepare meals at home and build real skills he'll rely on for years to come. It's a practical gift, but also a meaningful one, giving Ethan something he can take pride in every time he cooks, one more piece of the home and future he's working hard to build.
