Wish submitted by:

Alec is a compassionate and grounded individual whose greatest joy comes from his son, his cats, and the peaceful beauty of nature. He finds fulfillment in doing meaningful work and living with empathy for all living things, so much so that he even shares his lunch with the bugs that buzz around him in the summertime. Those who know Alec describe him as quiet at first but deeply protective, reliable, and strong, both emotionally and physically. Once he opens up about something he’s passionate about, his warmth and intelligence shine through. Alec’s balance of gentleness and strength makes him someone others trust and admire, a protector with a big heart and a deep sense of care for the world around him.

Alec is a kind and hardworking guy who shows strength and gratitude in everything he does. As an electrician, he’s proud of his blue-collar job and the life he’s built through hard work. Having gone through the foster care system, he knows how to stand on his own, which makes his success even more special. He often thinks of his late father, a miner, whose strong work ethic inspires him daily. Being the first in his family to graduate high school and find a steady job is something Alec takes pride in, knowing his dad would be proud of him too. A backpack cooler would mean a lot to Alec. Every morning, he walks a mile uphill to work, carrying his lunch in a regular box, which can be tough. A backpack cooler would make this easier and let him pack healthier meals to keep his energy up during the day. More than just a convenience, this gift would remind him of his father and support the hardworking life he has built with so much determination.
