Louis, 21 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Louis spent much of his childhood bouncing between different foster homes and group placements, never quite feeling like he belonged anywhere. The instability shaped him, making him resilient but also somewhat guarded. As he got older, he aged out of the foster care system, left with nothing but a few belongings in a duffel bag and the desire to carve out a future for himself. Despite the challenges, Louis has always dreamed of something bigger, a purpose beyond surviving day-to-day. He has aspirations of becoming a firefighter. The idea of saving lives, protecting nature, and facing the raw power of fire fills him with both awe and determination.

Louis is asking for an inflatable tent so he can go on a camping trip and have a much easier, more comfortable experience outdoors. Traditional tents can be tough to set up and take down, especially in the dark or after a long day of hiking, but an inflatable tent would make everything simpler and less stressful. With just a pump and a few minutes, Louis could have a sturdy, cozy shelter ready to go—giving him more time to enjoy nature, relax by the campfire, and make memories with the people he cares about. An inflatable tent would turn camping from a chore into an adventure he can genuinely look forward to.
