John, 49 years old

Wish submitted by:

John has faced significant adversity, including periods of homelessness dating back to his childhood. Despite his own health struggles, particularly ongoing back issues from a spinal surgery, he remains dedicated to providing the best possible care for his children. The past few years have been especially difficult and marked by instances of homelessness, during which his children were temporarily separated from him. Nevertheless, his love for his children has remained his driving force. Thankfully, they have since been reunited with him and are now living with him full-time. John's determination to create a stable home for them keeps him motivated, even on the toughest days. As a single father and primary caregiver to three children, he has faced many challenges but continues to strive to provide for them.

John has faced tough times, including homelessness and being separated from his kids. He has worked hard to bring his family back together, but he's dealing with significant challenges, especially financially. Right now, he really needs a new pair of shoes. His old ones are worn out, and he suffers from back pain from a past surgery, making daily activities like caring for his young children and looking for work really uncomfortable. As the main caregiver, he spends a lot of time on his feet, and it’s hard for him. A new pair of comfortable shoes would not only help with his pain but also boost his confidence as he continues to support his family. This small wish would mean a lot to him and help him be the amazing dad his kids need.
