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.

For most of his life, Gabriel slept in rooms that were never really his: borrowed beds, bare walls, and belongings that fit in a single bag, ready to move at a moment’s notice. Now he has a small place of his own, and he’s working hard to make it feel like home. Between night shifts as a security guard and his EMT classes at community college, he’s building a future where he’ll be the one rushing toward people on the worst day of their lives. He deserves a space to come back to that feels calm, warm, and entirely his. An Amazon gift card would let Gabriel choose the lamp, the wall art, or the plant that finally makes four walls feel like a place he belongs.
