Couch for Benedin who is moving into independent living

Posted Jan 29, 2025
Benedin is gearing up to move out of his foster home on February 10th, and he’s filled with excitement as he looks forward to starting this new chapter in his life. He recently found the perfect couch that would look great in his living room and match the light gray walls of his apartment. However, he’s facing a big hurdle—he doesn’t have any savings to buy furniture. After spending a few years in the foster care system and shuffling through different homes, he hasn’t been able to land a steady job that allows him to save money. Right now, he's working at a pizza restaurant, but unfortunately, he’s earning just above minimum wage, which makes it tough for him to afford the basics for his new place. Getting that couch would mean a lot to him, turning his apartment into a cozy home.

Benedin is 18 years old and lives in NE

Benedin likes to play basketball in his free time or spend time with his girlfriend. He is very responsible and independent and recently started a new job at a dry-cleaning service and is excited to be able to have his own money to buy things for himself and others. He is very outgoing and loves to meet new people. Benedin is finally able to set goals and make plans for the future which he is grateful for.
