By The Kotel Prayer 
Ethan, an 8-year-old boy with a big heart and an even bigger imagination, longed for one thing above all else: a dad. Growing up with his loving mom, Rebecca, he knew he was deeply cherished, but he often felt the absence of a father figure in his life.
One day, after knowing about Your Kotel Prayer on the internet, Ethan approached his mom with an idea. “Mom,” he said earnestly, “can we send a note to the Western Wall and ask God to help us find a daddy?”
Rebecca, touched by Ethan’s pure faith and determination, agreed. Together, they wrote a simple but heartfelt note asking for someone who would love and care for both of them. Through Your Kotel Prayer, their message was delivered to the sacred Western Wall in Jerusalem, placed among countless other prayers seeking guidance and blessings.
Life carried on, and Ethan continued to find joy in playing soccer—a sport he loved. His coach, Mark, was not only a great mentor but also someone who always encouraged Ethan and the other kids with kindness and positivity. Over time, Mark and Rebecca grew closer. What started as casual chats after practice turned into long conversations over coffee, shared laughter, and a growing connection.
One day, Ethan blurted out, “Coach Mark, I think you’d make a great daddy!” The three of them laughed, but the words stuck in their hearts. Months later, Rebecca and Mark officially began dating, and soon after, they became a family.
Now, Rebecca, Mark, and Ethan are excitedly preparing for the arrival of a new baby boy—a little brother Ethan had always dreamed of. Together, they share a bond built on love, faith, and answered prayers.
At Your Kotel Prayer, Ethan’s story reminds us of the power of innocent faith and the incredible ways in which prayers can be answered, often in the most beautiful and unexpected ways.
Have faith, like Ethan, and trust that the love you seek is always within reach.
