Wish submitted by:

Devon and his family are experiencing homelessness, which has greatly affected his ability to concentrate in school. Despite his best efforts, some days are more challenging than others. Devon has a warm smile, and his laughter can brighten any environment. He hopes to graduate from high school and pursue a college education, although he has not yet decided on a specific field of study. As a middle child, Devon shares a strong bond with both his brother and sister. Family is very important to him. Devon and his family are currently receiving support from the Department of Children and Family Services.

Devon just finished 10th grade and is getting ready for his junior year in high school. He really wants a new pair of sneakers. Right now, Devon and his family are facing challenges with homelessness and are hoping to find stable housing soon. They’re going through a tough time financially and don’t have extra resources. Helping Devon get some new sneakers would boost his confidence at school and support his overall well-being, which is super important during these teenage years.
