Cooper’s Story
Cooper was only three when his dad left. Now 14, Cooper still dreams of finding his father someday. Four years ago, Cooper was matched with a Life Coach named Dave. Dave is an engineer and athlete and Cooper liked him from the start. The two went swimming, roller blading, shot hoops and played golf. Cooper said he looked up to Dave almost like a father because they could talk about things like school and friends and faith. Cooper says, “When I am around Dave, it makes me want to be closer to God. Dave is into God andI want that too.” Dave invited Cooper to his workplace and showed him how to build some things. Cooper was good at it. Right now Cooper is taking a pre-engineering class in high school and has the second highest grade in Math class. Following in Dave’s footsteps, Cooper plans to go to college and become an engineer. In Cooper’s words, “Having a Life Coach is cool. It’s someone to hang out with. Any kid would like it!”
