Austin, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Austin is a fun-loving teenage boy who has really been given a difficult hand in life. He was removed from his mother as a small child and has since lived with his father. Austin has an autism diagnosis and missed many years of school. He is finally back in school part-time and doing so well! He is looking forward to bettering his life.

Austin is a growing teenager in need of a new pair of shoes, particularly waterproof boots that can keep him warm and dry during the snowy winter months. His father, recently diagnosed with lung cancer and unable to work, relies on Austin for support around the house. Austin does his best to help out with outdoor chores and plans to work alongside his adult brother this winter. He is requesting a new pair of boots that will allow him to take on these responsibilities while staying comfortable in the cold weather.
