Paul wishes to go to a 49ers game.

As a former foster youth currently facing housing insecurity, I have been doing everything I can to stay afloat. With the support of Dreams33, I’ve been able to continue pushing forward despite the challenges of balancing full-time work, full-time schooling at SFSU, and trying to secure permanent housing in Alameda County.

Most days are spent focused on survival and stability, leaving very little room to simply enjoy life or prioritize my own happiness. Receiving tickets to see the 49ers would mean more than just attending a football game, it would be an opportunity to experience joy, take a break from constant stress, and have one day where I can simply be present and enjoy myself.

This is not something I need to survive, but it is something that would genuinely lift my spirits and remind me that moments of happiness and community still matter, even during difficult times.
