Richard is a dedicated individual who works tirelessly to support his family in Guatemala, diligently saving every penny he can. He rarely indulges in personal purchases, focusing primarily on his basic needs. With his birthday approaching, he finally opened up about a wish he had been hesitant to express: a new pair of sneakers. He admires the high-top, all-black sneakers that his peers wear and thinks they look really stylish. However, the price tag deters him, as he cannot justify spending the money when he could use it to care for others. This gift would hold significant meaning for Richard, who finds it difficult to prioritize his own desires amidst his commitment to his family's wellbeing.
