Look What I Caught!

The text came in with a photo of a fish, nothing huge, just a simple catch from a pond in our local park. But what struck me wasn’t the fish… it was who sent it. To most people, it might seem small. But to me, it was everything. This young man doesn’t have many people in his life to share those moments with. No dad cheering him on. No older brother giving tips. Just me. And for some reason, in that moment, I was the one he wanted to share… “Look What I Caught!” It was more than a fish. It was proof that he felt seen. That he belonged somewhere. That someone cared.
At 71Five, we don’t always get big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it’s a simple text. A photo. A smile. But those moments—those little wins—are what change a life. Thank you for being part of that change. Your support gives kids like him a reason to keep casting, to keep trying, and to keep believing they matter.
