A trip to REI for Alec who wants to spend time camping with his foster family

Posted Mar 10, 2025
Alec can hardly wait for the upcoming camping trip with his foster family. Each day gets him more excited about picking out gear at REI that he hopes will bring them all together on many adventures. He loves the strong bond he shares with them and wants to feel like a permanent part of their family. Alec dreams of getting a cozy sleeping bag, a small tent, sturdy hiking shoes, a practical backpack, and comfortable hiking clothes, all ready for new adventures together. This wish was broken into two parts, to allow for an amazing shopping experience! This is wish 1 of 2.

Alec is 15 years old and lives in AZ

Alec is a gentle and respectful young man who carries a quiet strength within him. He has truly blossomed in his cooking class at school, where he not only excels but also takes great joy in preparing delicious meals for his foster family on weekends. Cooking allows him to express his passion and love for creating, and his family's appreciation warms his heart. Outside of the kitchen, Alec finds joy in building with Legos and immersing himself in video games, activities that spark his creativity and provide an escape. While it took some time for him to feel at home in his foster family, he now thrives in the loving and stable environment they have built together. With shared meals around the dinner table, filled with laughter and encouraging conversations, Alec has come out of his shell. He now shares jokes with his family and eagerly talks about his day, embracing the warmth and connection that surrounds him.
