Fresh sneakers for Katie to start the new school year feeling great
Katie, 19 years old, NJ
Wish submitted by:
NJ DCFS - Hudson CountyKatie is a loving and caring young lady who recently aged out of foster care and just got her first apartment. The hardest part about having been in foster care was being away from her brother, which continues to be a challenge, but she hopes to have a consistent relationship with them one day. Katie is a cosmetology student and will be graduating with her esthetician license in February 2025. During that time, she will also have her first baby. She has been working at Five Below since the summer of 2023 but is currently on leave due to her pregnancy.
Katie is really looking forward to senior year. She would love to be able to go to Foot Locker to shop for a new pair of sneakers to start off the new school year on the right foot! Katie typically gets hand me downs from her older sister, but it would be nice to get a pair of her own.
