A desk for Santos to have a dedicated study space

Posted Dec 30, 2024
Santos stands on the brink of an exciting new chapter in his college journey, a milestone that he's diligently worked toward. Through sheer determination, he has tirelessly sought out various grants and scholarships, ensuring that his dreams of higher education become a tangible reality. One of his heartfelt wishes is to acquire a desk for his room, a personal space where he can focus on his homework and studies. This desk represents more than just a piece of furniture; it symbolizes a sense of stability and a conducive environment for his academic success. Having faced numerous transitions throughout his life, including multiple placements, Santos longs for a sense of ownership and comfort in his surroundings. Choosing his own desk will allow him to personalize his space, creating a sanctuary where he can thrive intellectually and emotionally. In this new phase, having a dedicated workspace will not only enhance his productivity but also foster a feeling of permanence and belonging as he navigates this significant change in his life.

Santos is 18 years old and lives in CA

Santos has had quite a journey to get to where he is today. He came to this country alone at a very young age and lived with a distant relative, which turned out to be a traumatic and abusive situation. Despite the challenges, Santos traveled to SF as a child and now lives alone with no family. He is working hard to obtain his GED and finds solace in attending church on Saturdays and Sundays. Santos is also involved with ILSP and has a very involved CASA. However, his day-to-day life is difficult as he is still learning English. Santos has a kind heart and has endured so much at a young age while facing everything alone.
