Emery, 21 years old, VA | 3 DAYS WAITING |

Wish submitted by:

Emery has spent years moving between homes and navigating life in foster care, but through every change, they have held onto their kindness, creativity, and desire to make a difference. Now a young adult working to build stability after aging out of the system, Emery finds comfort in nurturing plants and creating a space of their own. They are thoughtful, loyal, and passionate about helping others, with a dream of becoming a social worker so they can support young people facing similar challenges. Even as they work to establish their independence, Emery continues to put others first, always striving to leave people and places better than they found them.

For Emery, getting dressed in the morning is about more than clothes. It is a chance to feel like themselves in a world that doesn’t always make that easy. The right fit can turn a hard day into a confident one, and it starts with the things no one else sees but that make all the difference in how a person feels in their own skin. Emery has spent years putting everyone else’s needs first, and gender-affirming basics like boxers are an expense that often has to wait while rent, food, and school come first. A few comfortable, well-fitting pairs would help Emery start each day feeling at ease and true to who they are.
