Chuck, 20 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Chuck is a remarkable young man with an inspiring story. He lost his biological parents in a car crash when he was only five years old and was raised by his aunt and uncle. His uncle, who was a devoted coach, introduced him to a variety of sports like hockey, basketball, football, baseball, and soccer. In 2020, Chuck faced another tough blow when his uncle passed away from COVID-19. This loss hit him hard, and he struggled with depression, often feeling lonely and overwhelmed by how difficult life had become. Chuck is a sweet guy at heart who wants to do well but needs support to stay on track. Despite everything, Chuck has shown great strength and determination. With therapy and a renewed love for sports, he’s been working hard to improve his life. He participates in mentor groups and helps out with community service events. Although he still has challenges, he truly embodies the spirit of perseverance and finds comfort in staying active and playing sports.

Chuck really enjoys swimming and loves getting in the water whenever he can. He already has one pair of swim trunks that he likes, but having a second pair would be really helpful for him. It would make it easier and more comfortable for him to enjoy swimming more often, whether he is at the beach or going for morning swims. Having an extra pair would also give him more flexibility during the summer and help him feel prepared and confident. Swimming is something that helps Chuck relax and feel good, especially during this important time in his life.
