First thing that pops into my head, maybe the neshama needs a tikkun for some reason, and this is the form of tikkun. The second (and possibly more satisfying) answer I have is that sometimes there are stories of people who experienced something as a child, and based on that grew up to be a certain type of person. Example, if, as a child someone is constantly hungry for lack of food and ends up being very wealthy, he will probably donate large sums to organizations that get involved with feeding the poor. Usually we wont know why Hashem does something but it always comes out good, even if we don’t see it.
