Valerie, 23 years old, OR

Wish submitted by:

Valerie is on an inspiring journey to become a doctor, dedicating herself to her studies with passion. At just 16, she and her sister found a true sense of belonging after moving in with their grandparents following their time in foster care. This new environment provided them with the stability and love they had longed for. When she’s not buried in her textbooks, Valerie loves to cook, often whipping up delicious meals that she enjoys sharing with family and friends. She also likes to host game nights filled with laughter and friendly competition. On sunny days, you can find her riding her bike around the neighborhood, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying the little moments of joy that come her way.

Valerie really admires Tim Duncan, her favorite basketball player. She wants a San Antonio Spurs jersey to show her appreciation for him. She respects how he played the game with confidence and consistency, always putting the team first. Tim's loyalty to the Spurs and his incredible career, which includes five NBA championships and two MVP awards, have inspired her. Valerie doesn't just think of him as one of the best power forwards ever; she sees him as a role model who embodies humility and hard work. For her, wearing his jersey would be more than just supporting a team; it would be a way to honor a player who sparked her love for basketball and represents the qualities she values in a sports figure.
