Jim, 25 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jim is a former foster youth that has overcome many obstacles since becoming homeless at the age of 18. Jim has maintain stable housing for a month within a college housing program. He recently got married and moved out of the college housing program. Jim is a self tough barber who aspires to attend barber school to obtain his license. Jim is currently attending community college, working on his associate in nursing. His goal is to transfer to San Diego State University within the next two years.

Jim has overcome homelessness, and is attending his second semester of community college, all while maintaining employment. Unfortunately, this semester he had to decrease his hours to ensure he has time to focus on his classes. Jim thrives on being independent and doesn't like to ask for assistance. However, this month Jim found it difficult to purchase his groceries and essential items. Jim's caseworker reminded him that she is so proud of him for focusing on his education so he can reach his career goal of working in the medical field, and sometimes there will be points in our lives that we all need a little assistance. Granting this wish for groceries, laundry detergent, and personal care items will really help Jim as he moves forward with his education.
