Victor, 20 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Victor was adopted twice, but both times it didn't work out. These experiences made him think a lot about loss, belonging, and being strong from a young age. After each adoption fell through, he went back into foster care, feeling the disappointment of broken promises until he eventually aged out of the system. Despite everything, Victor kept moving forward, showing a quiet strength and a strong curiosity about the world. He has started reconnecting with his biological family, slowly rebuilding those relationships and learning more about his roots. Victor has always been interested in how things work—how they fit together, come apart, and can be fixed. This curiosity led him to become a mechanic, where he finds purpose in solving problems. He takes pride in fixing things, both in his job and in his life. When he’s not working, Victor enjoys spending time in nature. Being outdoors helps him reflect, find peace, and stay balanced as he continues to build a life focused on growth and intention.

Victor wants a Ring camera system to feel safer at home. Over the break, while he was out of town visiting family, his car was broken into, which was an experience that left him feeling unsettled and vulnerable. Having a camera system would help him protect what he’s worked hard for, bring peace of mind when he’s away, and provide an added layer of security as he continues to build stability in his life.
