Dace, 15 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Dace enjoys playing the drums at school and playing video games. He is very artistic and especially loves drawing anime characters. He has faced challenges in his life, including periods of homelessness and moving frequently with his family. Because of this, school has been difficult at times, as he has had to adjust to new environments and start over more than once. Even with these challenges, Dace is determined to get back on track and improve his grades.

Dace would love to have a new pair of Nikes like the other kids at school. His mom is struggling to get back on her feet after being homeless and cannot afford shoes at this time. Granting this wish would alleviate some of her stress. It will help Dace be comfortable around his peers and help with his self confidence.
