James, 11 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

James is a smart and caring young man who is currently living in a foster home without his older sibling. Foster care has been very tough for James but he has decided to work hard in school so that he can continue to play his favorite sport - basketball. James loves math and wants to be a basketball player and an engineer when he graduates college.

James will be starting 4th grade next month. He worked hard in summer school and passed to the 4th grade. James continues to work on his motor skills, but he continues to have difficulty tying and untying his shoes. James asked for new shoes to wear to school that do not require him to tie up. James has been wearing Crocs most of the summer and would love new shoes for school. These Nikes will be perfect for him!
