A New Pair of Shoes for Deshawn to rock this year

Deshawn, 23 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

The Lost & Found Institute

Deshawn's journey has been challenging. Growing up in foster care taught him resilience, and after aging out, he faced adulthood head-on. Life changed when he became a single father to two young children. Despite the difficulties, he is committed to providing a stable, loving home with the support of friends and family. Deshawn finds joy in outdoor adventures with his kids, teaching them to appreciate nature. When not juggling work and parenting, he enjoys leading hikes or sharing quiet moments, creating a life filled with love and laughter.

Deshawn is requesting a new pair of black Air Force 1 sneakers, as he has been in need of new shoes for some time. As a single father, he often struggles to find extra money for himself, as most of his income goes toward supporting his child and covering essential expenses. Between work and parenting, there is little room left for personal expenses, which makes it difficult for him to treat himself to something he truly needs. A new pair of shoes would not only serve a practical purpose but also represent a small act of self-care that he has been unable to afford.

"Thank you so much for the new pair of black Air Force 1's. As a single father, it’s hard to find room in the budget for anything just for me, so your gift really means a lot. Not only will the shoes serve a practical purpose, but they also feel like a small act of self-care I’ve been unable to afford. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity — it’s a reminder that I’m not alone in this journey. Thank you again for making a real difference."
