Samari, 17 years old | 3 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Samari is a determined and kind-hearted young man who embodies focus, loyalty, and quiet leadership. Having navigated the foster care system, he knows how to adapt and create hope in challenging times. Samari has been accepted into a dual program for electrician work and welding, embracing this exciting opportunity with enthusiasm. His dedication and hard work drive him to build a future where he can thrive and support others. Outside of academics, Samari enjoys working out, playing basketball, and spending time with friends and his older sister, a key support in his life. As he steps into adulthood, his blend of discipline and warmth is sure to lead him to success, one step and one spark at a time.

Samari has grown into a determined young man after spending time in foster care. He values every opportunity to express himself and feel prepared. For his birthday, he wants to look and feel his best and would love to shop for a cool pair of sneakers at Foot Locker that reflect his style and help him feel confident. He will need to try the sneakers on to ensure they fit properly, as it is super hard to find the right fit for his size. With his love for basketball, working out, and spending time with friends, having a quality pair of shoes would mean a great deal to him. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful shopping trip! This is wish 1 of 2.
