Monique, 11 years old, CA | NEEDED BY 08/08

Wish submitted by:

Monique is a very smart and talented girl who currently lives in a foster home with her sister. Although foster care has been challenging for Monique, she finds comfort in knowing she is not alone. She enjoys going to school, and her favorite subjects are math and art. Monique aspires to be a photographer.

Monique is requesting a new pair of shoes because her current ones are too small and worn out. She wears them every day to school and for various activities, but they no longer provide the comfort and support she needs. The soles are thinning, and the shoes are starting to tear, making it difficult for her to keep up with her classmates. A new pair of shoes would help Monique feel more confident and comfortable as she walks to school, participates in class, and plays with her friends. Having properly fitting shoes would significantly improve her daily routine.
