Mark, 22 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 08/15

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 asking for a GoPro camera and kit for his birthday because he loves being outdoors and going on adventures. Whether he's hiking through the mountains, kayaking on the river, biking through trails, or exploring new places with friends, Mark is always seeking out new experiences in nature. Being outside brings him a sense of freedom and joy, and he's always looking for ways to capture and share those special moments. A GoPro would allow him to record high-quality videos and photos of his adventures, from scenic landscapes to action-packed moments. The complete kit, including mounts, batteries, and accessories, would give him everything he needs to bring his outdoor stories to life. This gift would mean a lot to him and support his passion for exploring the world around him.
