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 would like to treat him and his roommate to a simple pizza night. They’re both always working long hours, and most days they don’t have much time or energy to cook a full meal. Being able to order dinner together would give them a chance to slow down, share a moment of comfort, and enjoy quality time without the stress of planning or preparing food.
