Mark, 27 years old, PA | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Mark has faced more challenges in his young life than most people should ever have to go through. After aging out of foster care a few years ago, he moved in with his girlfriend at the time. His biggest motivation is his young daughter. When he found out her mother had stolen his identity, he stood up for himself and had to leave the home. Despite everything he has been through, Mark has stayed focused on being a good father and building a stable life for his daughter. After their child was born, things became even more difficult, and he ended up unstably housed, staying with friends while waiting for placement in a boarding home. The uncertainty has been hard on his mental health, but he continues to push forward. Mark is working hard to find a job, secure stable housing, finish his degree, and build a career so he can provide a better future for himself and his daughter. He isn’t asking for a handout—just a fair chance to get back on his feet. In his free time, Mark enjoys reading science fiction and is a big fan of baseball and football. He also likes collecting sports cards. Through everything, he continues to stay hopeful and focused on creating a better life for his daughter, who means everything to him.

Mark is a loving young father who is determined to take the best care of his baby girl. His daughter has eczema and requires Dove soap for sensitive skin. Mark feels a sense of fulfillment knowing that he is doing everything possible to soothe her skin and relieve the itching and bleeding caused by her scratching.
