An Apple Watch for Roberto for his birthday

Posted Jan 27, 2025
Roberto is really hoping to get an Apple Watch for his birthday this year, and for him, it would mean so much more than just a trendy gadget. Running has become his outlet, a way for him to clear his mind and find some clarity amid life’s chaos. Every time he laces up his shoes and hits the pavement, it feels like he’s not just exercising—he’s engaging in a form of therapy. It’s his time to breathe, think, and shed the stress that sometimes feels like too much to handle. Having an Apple Watch would be the perfect addition to his runs. He imagines tracking his progress, keeping an eye on his heart rate, and pushing himself a little more each time. It’s not just about fitness for him; it’s about setting personal milestones and celebrating those little victories that motivate him to keep going. So, this watch isn’t just a birthday gift; it’s a meaningful tool that could support him on his journey toward better mental health and a brighter future.

Roberto is 19 years old and lives in OR

Roberto’s journey hasn’t been easy, but it shows how strong and determined he is. He entered foster care when he was just five years old after losing his mom, which was really tough for him. He moved between several foster homes over the years, making life even harder. Eventually, he found a stable home with his aunt and uncle, who gave him the love and support he needed to start healing. Now, Roberto is focused on building a brighter future. He’s working hard to reach his educational goals while also training as a full-time apprentice, learning how to fix laptops and phones. With his dedication and effort, he’s proving that his past doesn’t determine his future!
