Kay, 5 years old

Wish submitted by:

Kay is a sweet girl who has been a victim of domestic violence. She and her mother had to relocate to escape her abusive father. Despite her young age, Kay is wise beyond her years due to having to be a support system for her mother. She also suffers from anxiety and PTSD. Despite her present situation, Kay is extremely resilient, and given time, she will heal. She just needs the opportunity to be a little girl.

Kay recently faced the devastating loss of her father, a heartbreaking reality that has left her struggling to process her emotions. After escaping a situation of domestic violence with her mother, she had just begun to rebuild their relationship and cherished the bond they shared. Now, as her mother navigates the challenges of daily living expenses with a part-time job, Kay finds herself in need of new sneakers. Her current pair is too small, making everyday activities more difficult, especially on good days when she wants to enjoy time at the park. Kay would benefit from two quality pairs of sneakers: one light-up pair that adds a touch of fun and a regular pair for everyday wear. This small gesture could provide her with a sense of comfort and help her feel special as she moves through this painful moment, supporting her journey toward healing.
