Matthew, 21 years old

Wish submitted by:

Matthew is a young man who has spent most of his life in state custody. At 18, he worked hard to secure stable housing, and since then, he has put in significant effort to maintain that independence. Although he's still exploring his options for the future, one thing is clear: Matthew is eager to find a job that will allow him to support himself and continue his journey toward thriving on his own. Known for his engaging personality, Matthew is a true people person with a unique sense of humor. He’s seeking avenues that inspire him to either pursue work or consider going back to school. While he has faced challenges with substance use in the past, he has proudly maintained his sobriety for several months now. Matthew is determined and ready to refocus on his goals, excited about the possibilities that lie ahead!

Matthew is working hard to find a job, keep in touch with his supports, and find a way to finish high school. These tasks would be easier with a laptop to explore jobs, create and save a resume. and Zoom in with supports. As well as research school programs and eventually maybe enroll in a GED or high school program.
