Mark, 22 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 01/23

Wish submitted by:

Mark had a tough start in life, growing up in a kinship placement and becoming independent at just 16 years old. He learned early on how to take care of himself and developed a strong work ethic. Since he didn't celebrate many holidays or special occasions as a child, he now focuses on making the most of each day instead. Mark runs his own remodeling and landscaping business, and he's dedicated to making it successful. People appreciate his hard work and problem-solving skills, even though his business is still getting off the ground. While Mark is independent and driven, he often struggles with balancing work and personal life. It’s tough for him to open up to others, and he rarely takes time to celebrate his achievements. He does find joy in his work and personal projects, but he’s gradually realizing how important it is to build relationships and enjoy life outside of work. Looking ahead, Mark hopes to expand his business and create a team that shares his values while also finding more happiness and connection in his personal life.

Mark urgently needs a replacement starter and essential tools to repair his car, which is currently out of commission. Without this repair, he can't fulfill his daily responsibilities, including getting to work. The situation is time-sensitive; his vehicle can't be driven until the starter is replaced. By accessing the right parts and tools immediately, Mark can complete the repair quickly and restore his reliable transportation. This support will not only help him get back on the road without delay but also prevent further disruptions in his daily life.
