Wish submitted by:

Lee Lee is a strong and brave young woman who escaped from her abuser, who was also her guardian. Even though she comes from a big family of ten siblings who are no longer together, she has learned to take care of herself. She developed skills in cooking and hairstyling and has a strong desire to keep learning. Lee Lee dreams of joining Job Corps while also taking on side jobs, all while staying positive despite her tough situation. In her free time, she enjoys watching YouTube videos, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. Her main goal is to find a job that helps her support and uplift her community, showing her caring nature and determination.

Lee Lee tragically lost many of her cherished personal items in a flood. These possessions were stored away while she resided in a resource home, unable to bring all her belongings with her. The news that her items had to be discarded due to water damage and mold left her devastated. Among the lost items was a special pair of sneakers she received as a Christmas gift last year, which she had only worn once. Lee stumbled upon a similar pair of sneakers that captured her heart, and she longs to have a replacement. This desire stems not only from the wish to expand her daily footwear beyond work sneakers but also to possess a quality pair that will endure for years to come. If granted, Lee vows to cherish these sneakers always.
