Richard, 29 years old

Wish submitted by:

Richard is a hard-working young man. He married his high school sweetheart and has two beautiful children. He joined an electrical trade program and has been working really hard to care for himself and his little family. Richard has a huge drive for success and a real entrepreneurial mindset. Both Richard and his wife are former foster youth, and they also recently became foster parents themselves to their younger nephews once they were informed that they were in need of emergency placement. Richard aims to one day be a mentor to young people like himself who have experienced care and encourage them to become better than what they came from.

Richard works in a rough and rugged field of work. He works really hard to create a different life for his family. He regularly has to invest in work boots and work attire that can get dirty and rough. He has a hard time gathering himself to spend money on things for himself that are extra. But he's tired of looking dirty all the time and is starting to invest in nicer clothes so that he can better market his new business as well as feel good about himself on the weekends.
