(by Sara Marie Holyoak)

Lee Vugrenes’ story begins with a kind of heartbreak most people can’t imagine. After 8 years with a single mother who loved him. Lee was abandoned by his father in Korea at age 10 and adopted by a family in Montana at 12, Lee’s early life was marked by pain, rejection, and unanswered questions. But instead of letting that define him, he rose. Through courage, faith, relentless personal growth, and an open heart, Lee rewired his pain into purpose. Today, he’s the living, breathing proof that no matter where you come from, you can choose to live with joy, purpose, and power. His journey from orphaned and suicidal to fulfilled and joyfully purpose-driven is a story that inspires thousands; not just because of where he’s been, but because of how fully he now lives.

Our Love, Our Adventures, Our Why

Being with Lee is a daily reminder that love, laughter, and deep soul connection can absolutely coexist. He’s my partner, my safe space, and the man who turns every ordinary moment into something extraordinary. Whether we’re dancing barefoot in the kitchen or across a quiet shoreline, we share our joy together wherever we go. On one of our travels, we asked a sweet couple if they’d film us dancing in the ocean. Not only did they capture the most magical video, but we met Rajib and his beautiful wife. They are two incredible humans who quickly became our friends. That’s a typical experience with Lee. He attracts love, makes connections, and creates unforgettable memories. Loving him is an adventure of the heart, and walking beside him feels like coming home to the most beautiful version of life.

His Birthday Wish: Let’s Light Up His World

This year, I’m asking for something special, not for me, but for Lee. If you’ve ever been moved by someone’s story of transformation, if you believe in spreading light, or if you simply want to be part of something beautiful, then I ask you this: help me give Lee the birthday gift of reach. Follow him on Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Share his message. Watch one of his videos. Every like, follow, and share helps extend his mission of helping others find happiness, self-love, and peace. He’s not in this to be famous, he’s in it to serve. And the more people who find his voice, the more lives can be transformed by it. Let’s make his birthday unforgettable… not just with cake and candles, but with impact.
