Edgar, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

Edgar's childhood was unstable as he moved between different foster homes, never really connecting with anyone. Group homes gave him some stability, but he felt invisible there. He was afraid to trust others, so he turned to music, which helped him escape and feel connected. Through each song, Edgar created a peaceful world where he felt understood and free.

For Christmas this year, Edgar doesn't ask for much. He isn’t one to make big demands or speak up often, but there’s one thing he has his heart set on: a pair of Off-White sneakers. He has seen them online—those sleek white kicks with the iconic orange tag—and they resonate with him in a way nothing else does. The design and craftsmanship speak to him, almost like an art form in motion. It’s not just about the shoes; it’s about owning something that feels like a part of him, a reminder that he can stand out in a world that often feels indifferent. So, with his usual quiet confidence, he wrote it down—a simple note: “I’d really love a pair of Off-Whites for Christmas.” The words are humble, but the sentiment is clear: it’s a small wish, a way of claiming something for himself, and a symbol of the dreams he still holds close, despite everything.
