Wish submitted by:

Isaiah is a thoughtful and quiet teenager who finds comfort in numbers and problem-solving, excelling in math. He dreams of becoming a scientist and making positive discoveries. Though he’s reserved and lives in a teen shelter, he possesses a kind nature and observes the world with a unique perspective. Isaiah enjoys simple pleasures like burgers, fries, and Sprite, which bring him comfort in his challenging environment. Despite the difficulties of adjusting to shelter life, he remains determined and ambitious, driven by his passion for learning and a desire to make a difference through science. With support, his potential is limitless.

Isaiah would like a new pair of sneakers, especially since he is looking for something to wear to an Easter celebration. He is very concerned about his appearance and fears being teased, particularly because he is currently living in a shelter and does not have access to a variety of clothing like he did when he was at home. He desires a pair of black sneakers because they are versatile and can be paired with many outfits. These sneakers will provide the support he needs for walking and running during gym class and for daily activities. A new pair of sneakers will also help boost his confidence and self-image, giving him a sense of pride in his appearance and positively affecting how he perceives himself.
