Orlando, 21 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Orlando's early childhood was marked by instability in foster homes until his grandmother provided a stable kinship placement. This nurturing environment allowed him to discover a talent for working with his hands and a passion for cars. Now training to be a mechanic, Orlando feels at home in the shop and dreams of opening his own auto repair business. His goal is to not only pursue his passion but also create opportunities for other young people like himself, turning his challenges into a foundation for independence and purpose.

Orlando is requesting a YETI cooler to help him cope with his long days of working outdoors in the heat. With the intense sun and high temperatures, keeping his drinks, snacks, and lunch cold is a constant challenge. A durable, high-quality cooler like a YETI would make a significant difference for him, providing a reliable way to stay refreshed and energized throughout the day. For Orlando, it’s not just about convenience—it’s about having peace of mind, knowing that his food and drinks will remain cold and safe, no matter how tough the conditions become.
