Victor, 20 years old, OR | 17 DAYS WAITING

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 really wants a dresser for his room so he can finally have a place to store his clothes. He does not have proper storage, which makes it difficult to stay organized and keep his space comfortable and functional. Having a dresser would not only help him take better care of his belongings but also create a sense of stability and pride in his personal space. This simple addition would make a meaningful difference in his day-to-day life.
