Maj, 13 years old, VA

Wish submitted by:

Maj is a middle school student and one of four siblings. His mother, a single parent, suffers from frequent seizures, which prevent her from holding a steady job. As a result, Maj often helps out at home by cooking meals, cleaning, and mowing the lawn. Despite facing challenges due to a learning disability and the way some classmates treat him, he is determined to reach his goals. He has found a sense of confidence by creating YouTube videos, which has become an important outlet for him.

Maj needs new clothes to get ready for the upcoming school year. His mother, a single parent with health and educational limitations, struggles to find a good job. Because of these challenges, they both hope to prepare for a better school year ahead. Maj has been looking forward to starting the new school year with confidence, and new clothes would help boost his self-esteem. Despite their struggles, they remain hopeful and determined to make the most of the opportunities that lie ahead. This request has been split into two wishes to allow for a successful shopping trip. This is wish 1 of 2.
