Peyton is a gentle, soft-spoken boy with a kind heart and quiet resilience. Growing up in a family that struggles to make ends meet, he’s no stranger to going without, whether it’s summer vacations, new clothes, or the bike he’s always wanted. Despite this, Peyton remains thoughtful, humble, and full of warmth. He’s the kind of kid who says thank you twice, holds the door open, and notices when someone needs a friend. Though he often feels like he doesn’t quite fit in, especially when financial gaps set him apart from other kids, Peyton finds joy in the simple things: riding his bike, playing in the dirt, and making friends in the neighborhood.

Peyton is asking for a bike because the one he currently uses is too small for him. He rides his bike around town often when he’s not in school. The new bike he has chosen is the right size, which will help him stay active and fit in better with the other kids. He selected this bike specifically because it comes with a lock, giving him peace of mind knowing that no one will take it. Unfortunately, Peyton will not have any gifts under the tree this year; his family struggles to keep food in the house and pay the bills. His mom has expressed that she won’t be able to afford anything extra this year.
