HOLIDAY WISH

A Gift Card for Diego a chance for him to purchase his own clothing for the first time

Posted Nov 21, 2022
Diego provides great assistance to his mother and father. Diego is in high school and in a credit recovery program where he is receiving enough credits to graduate. Diego's parents are currently not working as his father's cancer has returned, and the little money that they have left is used for rent, utilities and his little brother who is in and out of the NICU. Diego is a pleasant young man who does not complain. He does not want to be selfish or a burden on his family, as he knows they lack funding and sees how much they are struggling to make ends meet. The last thing he has ever asked for is clothing for himself. New clothing will help with Diego's transition when he graduates high school in January 2023. Diego has a bright outlook for his future and wishes to become a firefighter, and a new set of clothing would be so supportive to Diego's goals.

Diego is 19 years old and lives in NY

Diego is an incredibly strong willed, charismatic, mature and resilient youth. Diego's family emigrated to the United States when he was a young boy. He has provided a great deal of support to his parents, teaching them english, babysitting his younger siblings, all the while trying to learn the language himself and dedicate his limited time to school work.
