Anderson, 19 years old, CA | 2 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Anderson is a resilient young man who is working to overcome past trauma. He entered care at a young age and was placed in a non-relative home. Although he struggles internally with his mental health, he approaches life with strength and positivity. He is rarely seen without a smile on his face and often spends time laughing and enjoying life. His strongest support system includes his two sisters and his best friend—people he says he couldn't imagine living without. In his free time, Anderson enjoys spending time outdoors with his friend, participating in various activities that bring him joy and peace.

Anderson began an electrician apprenticeship a few months ago, and he is excited to be building a career and a more stable future. He is learning valuable hands-on skills and gaining real experience in the trade, and he is committed to putting in the effort it takes to succeed, even when the work is physically demanding and the hours are long. His income has been inconsistent, though. Some weeks he works long days, and other weeks rain keeps him off the job because his employer does not operate in wet conditions. Those unpredictable changes make it hard to budget, and there have been many weeks when he has struggled to afford groceries and keep food in the house. Uber Eats meals would let him order something quick and satisfying when he is hungry and short on food after a long day of work. Having a meal within reach would take one worry off his mind on the weeks when missed work leaves him with very little.
