James, 23 years old, CA | 9 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

James is a young adult living in a supportive transitional housing program after his foster care journey. He remains closely connected with his wonderful foster family as he continues to grow and learn how to live independently. James loves movies and going to the beach, and he is also an active member of a Youth Action Board.

James is working hard to stay stable while navigating an unexpected, challenging change. He works at a group home, but after a recent safety-related incident, he has reduced his hours to prioritize his well-being. With fewer hours and less income, covering everyday necessities has become increasingly stressful, and groceries are one of the hardest expenses to keep up with. James is actively applying for full-time positions that will let him regain financial stability, meet his basic needs, and get back on his feet. Providing him with some groceries would keep food in his home without straining his limited income, and it would let him stretch what he has to cover other necessary bills. It would bring practical relief and peace of mind as he continues his search for full-time employment and works toward a more secure, independent future.
