Peyton is a gentle, soft-spoken boy with a kind heart and quiet resilience. Growing up in a family that struggles to make ends meet, he’s no stranger to going without, whether it’s summer vacations, new clothes, or the bike he’s always wanted. Despite this, Peyton remains thoughtful, humble, and full of warmth. He’s the kind of kid who says thank you twice, holds the door open, and notices when someone needs a friend. Though he often feels like he doesn’t quite fit in, especially when financial gaps set him apart from other kids, Peyton finds joy in the simple things: riding his bike, playing in the dirt, and making friends in the neighborhood.
