Andre, 18 years old, VA | 1 DAY WAITING | NEEDED BY 11/06

Wish submitted by:

Andre is a kind-hearted and caring young man. He has an infectious smile and is always quick to offer a helping hand to anyone in need. He is enrolled in a program designed to support high school students in care as they prepare for college, careers, and independent living. This year-round initiative focuses on leadership, academics, and life skills.

A flat tire is an inconvenience for most people, but for Andre, who drives alone with no family nearby to call, it can mean missing a shift, missing a rehearsal, or being stranded with nowhere to turn. A 4-way tire iron is a simple tool, but it lets Andre handle that moment himself instead of waiting on help that may not come. He has learned to be resourceful out of necessity, and having the right equipment in his trunk is a quiet form of security for someone who has spent years being his own safety net.
