Ken has already learned a lot about life earlier than most kids his age. Growing up in foster care has shaped him into someone far beyond his years - mature, grounded, and deeply compassionate. He's kind and respectful, with a sharp wit that brings light to even the darkest moments. What sets him apart is his instinct to care for others. It's a gift he carries, and he carries it so well. He finds peace and freedom in the outdoors, especially when riding his bike, where the world feels a little lighter. His life has not been easy, but through every challenge, you can see he has built strength, empathy, and a quiet resilience that speaks louder than words.

Ken has never owned his own bike, so he has been borrowing his foster dad's. It would be amazing for him to receive the bike he wants in his preferred color. This would be significant because for youth in foster care, receiving something new helps break the cycle of feeling like an afterthought. Plus, it would provide a fantastic opportunity for him and his foster dad to bond, as biking is one of their top ways to spend time together. He will be thrilled to get his dream gold bike!
