Paul, 12 years old

Wish submitted by:

Paul is a very sensitive boy who suffers from anxiety and is constantly worried about his mother. Paul is kind and generous and is the boy who will hold a door open, say please and thank you or God bless you after a sneeze. Paul loves to be outside and enjoys riding his bike with friends or playing video games on bad weather days. He prefers to be outside though.

Paul and his older brother have been living with their elderly grandmother for the past year now. It was supposed to be temporary but things did not go as planned. His grandmother thought she was doing the right thing by taking in her grandsons; but by doing so on her own, she cannot get any financial assistance for them. She is doing the best she can but cannot afford the name brand clothes the boys want. Paul is a large boy for his age and is wearing Men's size clothing which is more expensive. He wishes for new clothes for the summer but his grandmother just cannot do it at this time. A gift card to Burlington would allow Paul to get the clothes he needs and take some pressure off of his grandmother.
