Patrick’s journey has been shaped by years spent in and out of juvenile detention facilities, foster homes, and group homes. Despite these challenges, he is determined to carve out a new path for himself beyond the system. With a passion for art, Patrick is focused on envisioning a life outside the confines of his past experiences. He dreams of studying art in college, eager to refine his talent and explore new creative outlets. His unique perspective is evident in how he transforms everyday, overlooked objects into stunning works of art, finding beauty and expression in what others might disregard. Patrick's work is a testament to his resilience, creativity, and hope for a future where he can thrive on his own terms.

Patrick is hoping for a GoPro kit to use while exploring nature. He loves spending time outdoors and wants to capture the beauty of his adventures, from scenic hikes to quiet moments in the wilderness. Having a GoPro would allow him to document his experiences in high quality, share his perspective with others, and create lasting memories of the places he explores. Having a GoPro will support his passion for the outdoors and also inspire him to continue discovering and connecting with nature in new ways.
