Wish submitted by:

Tyshawn is a quiet yet outgoing young man who excels academically. He is known for his thoughtfulness, always putting others' needs before his own. Aside from his studies, he helps his mom care for his older brother, who has special needs. Tyshawn balances his academics with a part-time job as a dietitian, showcasing his dedication and strong work ethic. In his free time, he loves to play the drums and guitar, and he enjoys writing songs. Tyshawn also has a passion for sports and drawing cool animations, allowing his creativity to shine through in many ways.

Tyshawn enjoyed basketball camp this summer and is nervous about going back to school. He wishes to find a cool pair of sneakers that will match his school clothing. Tyshawn's sneakers are worn out because he has worn them every day and made perfect jump shots this summer. Sometimes, the kids are mean to Tyshawn and tease him about his sneakers with holes in them. Granting this wish will help Tyshawn start school without the fear of being teased.
