Gabriel, 19 years old, VA | 13 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Gabriel spent much of his teen years in foster care and aged out determined to build a future of his own. Now, he balances community college classes with working nights as a security guard while pursuing his dream of becoming an EMT. Despite managing rent, school, and certification expenses on his own, Gabriel remains kindhearted and always willing to help others. After years of looking out for everyone around him, he deserves the same support and encouragement as he works toward a career helping people in their most difficult moments.

After a long night shift and a morning of classes, the thing Gabriel needs most is real, restful sleep, and a set of clean, comfortable full-size sheets would turn his bed into the sanctuary it should be. When you’re working nights, studying on the bus, and stretching every dollar, bedding is one of the first things to be put off, and a thin, worn set is a small but constant reminder of how little room there is in the budget for comfort. Gabriel has spent years sleeping wherever he was placed, in beds that were never really his, and having sheets of his own, chosen for him, would make his small room feel like home. Your gift would give Gabriel a better night’s sleep and a reminder that he deserves to rest.
