Wish submitted by:

Ethan grew up in a rural town in New Jersey. At the age of 11, local Child Protective Services became aware of his mother's struggles with drugs, leading to his removal from her care. Sadly, she has since passed away. Ethan was raised by his aunt. When he turned 19, he joined the Marine Corps. He currently works at a rental car agency. Ethan enjoys hiking, having completed his longest hike at just over 20 miles! In addition to hiking, he loves spending time with his dogs, going on adventures, and playing video games to relax. He is currently a full-time student pursuing a degree in business. Ethan is known for being diligent, loyal, and hardworking. Ethan recently got married! He had a very small wedding. His wife, Bella, is a sweetheart. They both have a love for animals. Their dog recently had some health issues, which were expensive to get taken care of so that is Ethan's newest burden. He is confident that he will overcome his current financial issues, like he has overcome so many other obstacles in his life.

Ethan recently got married and struggled to find a job for a long time after moving out of state. He has finally landed a job he hopes is long-term, but is struggling to catch up on credit card bills, utilities, and rent. During this period of playing catch-up, he is requesting a Walmart gift card to help with groceries. Ethan had a very rough start to life, and his mom passed away a few years ago to her addiction, which was very difficult for him to overcome. But he moved forward through the pain of that loss and has begun to get his footing.
