A pair of sneakers for Thomas who cannot wait to start school

Thomas, 7 years old

Wish submitted by:

NJ DCFS - Ocean County

Thomas is a loving young boy whose world has recently turned upside down. His family is receiving support from the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). He is doing his best to cope with all the transitions he and his mother are experiencing. Although Thomas has multiple developmental disabilities, he views these more as abilities. He loves dinosaurs and enjoys hunting for bugs outside. He is a picky eater but is making a concerted effort to try new foods.

Thomas wants to look and feel his best when he returns to school in the fall. He really wants a new pair of sneakers that he doesn't need to tie to wear to school. Thomas is still working on his hand-eye coordination, which will allow him to tie his own shoes. He is working really hard, but in the meantime, he would love a comfortable pair of Velcro sneakers he can play and learn in. Thomas and his mother continue to be displaced, waiting for their forever home together.
