Alex, 16 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Alex is a fun-loving and adventurous person who really enjoys being outdoors. Whether skateboarding, hiking on trails, or swimming in the ocean, being outside makes Alex feel free. Their favorite thrill is cliff diving—standing at the edge, feeling the wind, and then jumping in. They love the excitement of it all, especially when it comes to roller coasters; the bigger the drop, the more they laugh! Life hasn’t always been easy for Alex. They entered the foster care system when they were just five years old after losing their mother. Since then, they have moved between different foster homes, which has made it hard for them to feel safe and settled. But Alex keeps hoping that this time, with their current placement, they might really belong somewhere and build trust with others. Despite everything they've been through, Alex is strong and resilient. They're still dreaming big, diving into new adventures, and believing that they can find stability and love in their life.

Alex is asking for a Popeyes gift card so they can treat their friends to their favorite chicken. Sharing a meal is something Alex enjoys because it brings everyone together, and Popeyes is the one spot they all get excited about. Having a gift card would let Alex do something thoughtful and fun, like treating their friends, spending time together, and creating a happy moment over the food they love most.
