Michael, 10 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Michael is a sweet and amazing boy who has been living in a foster home for over a year. Being separated from his six siblings is difficult for him. Despite this challenge, Michael is doing his best to behave well in his foster home and at school. He loves playing in groups, whether it's sports or games like tag. Additionally, Michael enjoys listening to music and watching television shows.

Michael has a deep passion for outdoor play, relishing every moment spent running, jumping, and exploring the world around him. However, the joy of his adventures is sometimes overshadowed by the teasing he endures from bullies at school for wearing the same pair of shoes day in and day out. A shiny new pair of shoes would not only bring a bright smile to his face but also give him the confidence to step into each day feeling fresh and unique. Imagine the delight on his face as he unwraps a thoughtfully chosen gift this Christmas, one that offers him the excitement of choice and the luxury of variety with different styles to switch between. Such a present wouldn’t just be a mere gift; it would be a heartfelt gesture, showing him that his wishes are valued. This holiday season, making Michael's dreams come true would undoubtedly fill his heart with warmth and happiness, creating lasting memories that he can cherish.
