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 loves being a father and the provider of his home. He works as an electrician and is attending school for this. In a year and a half, he will be able to take his journeymen's test. Putting groceries on the table is tough as it is, they almost never are able to eat out as a family. He would love to take his family out for a special dinner.
