Chris, 18 years old, MO | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Chris is a friendly young man currently in residential foster care who has a kind personality and enjoys making the people around him feel welcome. He loves expressing himself through fashion and spending time with his friends, whether they are hanging out or simply enjoying each other’s company. In his downtime, Chris enjoys making music, giving him a creative outlet to express himself and have fun. He is a hard worker who is focused on building a future for himself and is working toward saving money for his own apartment and greater independence. Chris has faced challenges along the way, but he does not allow his past to stand in the way of the future he wants. He is determined to keep moving forward, work toward his goals, and show that he is capable of creating a positive and independent life for himself.

An electric bike would help Chris build independence and self-sufficiency by giving him reliable transportation to work, run errands, and navigate his community. It would support his progress through his residential program and help prepare him for the transition to his own apartment. More than just transportation, an e-bike would give Chris greater confidence and help him take an important step toward the independent life he is working hard to build.
