Wish submitted by:

De'andre is a kind, respectful young man who enjoys playing basketball, video games, and spending time with his friends. He works hard in school, earns good grades, and is known for treating others with kindness and respect. Despite facing difficult circumstances, De'andre continues to maintain a positive attitude and has a caring heart. After being removed from his parents' care due to substance abuse, De'andre has been lovingly cared for by his elderly grandmother, who has worked hard to provide him with a safe and stable home. While he misses his mom and cherishes the time they are able to spend together, he remains hopeful that one day they will be reunited. Through it all, De'andre continues to show resilience, maturity, and determination.

De'andre has been playing basketball in an old pair of shoes that no longer provide the support he needs. He dreams of getting a new pair that not only fits better but also boosts his confidence both on and off the court. Having shoes that match his jersey while he’s playing his favorite sport would mean a lot to him and enhance his overall game experience.
