A pair of shoes for Benson to feel like he fits in

Benson, 17 years old

Wish submitted by:

Voices for Children - Riverside

Benson was removed from his biological home due to substance misuse, which ultimately led to his hospitalization. Since that challenging time, he has made significant progress in remaining clean and has begun to explore new interests. One of Benson's greatest passions is playing the guitar, and he dreams of learning how to build one someday. Currently, he is focusing on exploring career options as a guitar technician or in another role that allows him to work with guitars and share his enthusiasm for music with others.

Benson is eager for a new pair of shoes, hoping to have a style that's just like the other kids. He doesn't often get new shoes, so having a fresh pair would help him feel cool and confident at school. With these shoes, he would not only walk comfortably but also embrace the confidence that comes with them. These shoes are exactly what he has been wishing for.
