Wish submitted by:

Ken has endured many challenges throughout his life, including his father leaving at a young age and his mother’s struggles with mental health, which led to him spending time in foster care. In recent years, Ken has undergone three brain surgeries due to a tumor, leaving him deaf in his left ear and unable to work. Despite these hardships, Ken continues to move forward with resilience, learning how to navigate his new life and stay strong in the face of adversity. His story is one of perseverance and courage.

Kenneth is in the midst of healing from his third brain surgery, a journey that has required strength and resilience. During this time, he has discovered a passion for smoking meat — a hobby that not only brings him joy but also creates moments of happiness for his family, who love his cooking. This Christmas, Kenneth is wishing for support with his smoking hobby. Having the tools and supplies to continue smoking meat would make him feel cared for, while also helping him financially as he builds on something that brings value to his family. Cooking has become a source of comfort and pride for Kenneth, and fulfilling this wish would encourage him in his recovery, showing him that his efforts and passions are appreciated.
