Malachi, 20 years old | 51 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Malachi is a dedicated college student pursuing a dual degree in psychology and education. His journey has been marked by resilience; he entered the foster care system at the age of 11 after his grandmother could no longer care for him due to her age and health issues, following the loss of his mother and the absence of his father. Despite dealing with diabetes and an irregular heartbeat, Malachi remains committed to creating a brighter future for himself. To maintain his physical and mental well-being, he enjoys staying active through skateboarding and working out, and he finds joy in reading and watching anime during his downtime. Malachi is determined to leverage his experiences to inspire others and make a positive impact in his community, proving that challenges can be transformed into opportunities for growth and change.

Malachi would be incredibly grateful for a pair of Nike LeBrons, as he currently doesn’t have any working sneakers. All of his shoes are either worn out, or missing shoelaces, leaving him with no choice but to wear Crocs everywhere on campus. Since he doesn’t have a car and walks everywhere, a sturdy and comfortable pair of sneakers would make a huge difference in his daily life. Granting this wish will provide him with much-needed support and comfort and help him feel more confident in his appearance.
