Louis, 21 years old, OR | 5 DAYS WAITING | NEEDED BY 10/30

Wish submitted by:

Louis spent much of his childhood bouncing between different foster homes and group placements, never quite feeling like he belonged anywhere. The instability shaped him, making him resilient but also somewhat guarded. As he got older, he aged out of the foster care system, left with nothing but a few belongings in a duffel bag and the desire to carve out a future for himself. Despite the challenges, Louis has always dreamed of something bigger, a purpose beyond surviving day-to-day. He has aspirations of becoming a firefighter. The idea of saving lives, protecting nature, and facing the raw power of fire fills him with both awe and determination.

Louis is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, and this birthday he is hoping for a Cowboys duffel bag. He spent much of his childhood moving between foster homes and group placements, and when he aged out of the system, he left with a few belongings packed in a duffel bag and a determination to build a future of his own. Over the years, several of his bags have ripped, so a sturdy, dependable one would mean he finally has something he can trust to carry everything he owns. Having it embroidered with his favorite team's name and logo would make it truly his, a bag he can carry proudly wherever life takes him next.
