Christopher, 19 years old, VA | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Christopher has been in foster care since he was 11 and has moved 23 times while in care. Through all of that change and uncertainty, he found joy, comfort, and a sense of purpose in cooking. He worked hard in school and graduated high school with honors. He now lives in his first apartment, works full-time, and is building an independent life for himself. Christopher hopes to turn his love of cooking into a career by starting his own catering business someday. He is hardworking, determined, and focused on creating a stable future doing something he truly loves.

This 16-quart stainless steel mixing bowl would give Christopher a sturdy, useful tool for preparing larger recipes, practicing new dishes, and continuing to develop his skills at home. As he works toward starting his own catering business, dependable kitchen equipment would help him keep learning, creating, and building confidence in the kitchen.
