Mark, 22 years old, OR |

Wish submitted by:

Mark had a tough start in life, growing up in a kinship placement and becoming independent at just 16 years old. He learned early on how to take care of himself and developed a strong work ethic. Since he didn't celebrate many holidays or special occasions as a child, he now focuses on making the most of each day instead. Mark runs his own remodeling and landscaping business, and he's dedicated to making it successful. People appreciate his hard work and problem-solving skills, even though his business is still getting off the ground. While Mark is independent and driven, he often struggles with balancing work and personal life. It’s tough for him to open up to others, and he rarely takes time to celebrate his achievements. He does find joy in his work and personal projects, but he’s gradually realizing how important it is to build relationships and enjoy life outside of work. Looking ahead, Mark hopes to expand his business and create a team that shares his values while also finding more happiness and connection in his personal life.

Mark is dreaming of a new set of silverware this Christmas, and it’s more than just a gift; it’s a ticket to unforgettable holiday meals with friends and family. The silverware he has right now just doesn't cut it—quite literally. It bends under the weight of a scoop of ice cream or struggles with tougher foods, turning what should be joyful dining experiences into frustrating battles. Imagine the look on his face when he unwraps a beautifully crafted set of silverware, designed to withstand everything from festive feasts to everyday dining. Each piece would not only elevate his table setting but also bring ease and enjoyment to every meal. With sturdy, reliable silverware, Mark can confidently scoop, slice, and serve without worry, transforming holiday gatherings into cherished memories.
