Jordan, 14 years old

Wish submitted by:

Jordan has been separated from his parents since he was three years old. He was raised by two distant relatives until recently, which has caused a lot of disruption in his life. He has struggled with feelings of abandonment, but he is beginning to settle into his new home and is starting to find some normalcy. Jordan is a great kid who loves playing sports, visiting his cousins, fishing, and socializing with friends. He excels in school and lifts weights at the YMCA almost every day. As an active child, he is very committed to staying involved and moving. Sports and working out serve as a form of therapy for him. Jordan is very smart, cares deeply about those around him, rarely asks for much, and has a laid-back personality.

Jordan is in desperate need of clothing, but asking for help is not in his nature. He participates in several sports that require specific gear, and unfortunately, the family has been unable to find good-quality used items in his size. He would love to visit Academy to pick out some sports gear, such as soccer cleats.
