Retro sneakers for Edgar to wear for his birthday

Edgar, 19 years old

Wish submitted by:

The Lost & Found Institute

Edgar's childhood was unstable as he moved between different foster homes, never really connecting with anyone. Group homes gave him some stability, but he felt invisible there. He was afraid to trust others, so he turned to music, which helped him escape and feel connected. Through each song, Edgar created a peaceful world where he felt understood and free.

Edgar has his heart set on a pair of Jordan Retro sneakers for his birthday, and he couldn't be more excited about the possibility of receiving them. He has been eyeing these sneakers for months, believing they are a true statement piece and a symbol of his love for the sneaker culture. Having felt unseen during his time in foster care, receiving these sneakers would mean everything to him. Having these sneakers will show him that he is seen by people who care about his happiness, making his birthday truly memorable and special.
