Wish submitted by:

Michael is a bright and upbeat young man who spreads joy to everyone around him. Despite facing some tough times, including being in foster care, he always shows incredible strength and kindness. Now that he’s in a more stable home, he’s excited to enjoy being a kid again. He loves basketball and spends a lot of time practicing his shots and moves on the court, where he feels happy and confident. Michael also enjoys gaming, where he can dive into new adventures and connect with friends, helping him build friendships and a sense of belonging.

Michael really wants a new pair of Nike shoes for his birthday. He’s never had a pair before, but he often sees his friends wearing them and dreams of owning some himself. For him, it’s not just about the shoes; it’s about feeling included and more confident around his friends. Now that he’s in a more stable home, he’s making new friends and figuring out who he is. Having a pair of shoes he likes would mean a lot to him and help him feel like he belongs. A new pair of Nikes would make his birthday special and help him fit in better, especially when playing basketball with his friends.
