Sneakers for Edward to wear as a camp counselor

Edward, 17 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

VA DSS - Chesapeake City County

Edward is an incredible young man who faced significant challenges when he was placed in a group home, separated from his two younger brothers. Adjusting to life in the group home was tough for him, and he even attempted to leave a couple of times. Fortunately, Edward has since been placed in a kinship home where he can live with his siblings once again. A passionate student, Edward truly loves school and excels in athletics. He has a particular fondness for football and basketball, having previously played for an AAU Basketball League before entering foster care. Committed to his future, Edward is focused on graduating high school and pursuing collegiate sports, with aspirations to play basketball or football. Additionally, he has plans to join the military after graduation, showcasing his determination and drive for success.

Edward has worked hard this school semester, and because of his hard work, he landed a job as a peer summer camp counselor. Edward will be working with younger children on the campsite. Edward is very excited about his new job and is looking forward to starting when school is out. The new sneakers would mean a lot to Edward because he would not have to spend the money he had been saving for these particular sneakers. Edward would be extremely appreciative and happy.
