Wish submitted by:

Ke'inou is a determined young man whose life story is shaped by resilience and a desire to make a difference for himself and fellow former foster youth. Growing up in the foster care system with little support, he is focused on achieving his high school diploma—an essential step toward building a better future. Despite facing numerous challenges, Ke'inou's determination remains strong. His goal extends beyond personal success; he aims to help current and former foster youth find empowerment through boxing. He recognizes that many struggle to manage their emotions, and for him, boxing offers a physical outlet to channel anger and frustration, helping others regain confidence and resilience.

An e-bike would make an incredible difference in Ke'inou's daily life. Reliable transportation would allow him to travel to and from school, work, and other important commitments safely and efficiently. Navigating the city can be difficult without dependable transportation, and an e-bike would eliminate many of the barriers that come with relying on inconsistent or limited transit. It would help ensure Ke'inou arrives to class on time, maintains steady employment, and better manages his schedule without the constant stress of transportation challenges. Receiving an e-bike would be an investment in Ke'inou's education, employment, and future. It would provide him with greater independence and the freedom to pursue opportunities that will help him continue growing personally and professionally.
