Some great new Jordans for Atlas to wear while they skateboard around town

Atlas, 21 years old, UT

Wish submitted by:

1999 Collective

Atlas is a thoughtful young person who entered the foster care system at age 15 after fleeing domestic and gang violence in Guatemala. They have faced more hardship in their young life, yet they continue to move forward with quiet strength and determination. As a nonbinary individual navigating homelessness, Atlas is doing everything they can to stay safe, hopeful, and grounded while they wait for stable housing.

For Atlas, skateboarding is much more than just a pastime; it’s a crucial source of peace and purpose in their life, which has been filled with challenges and instability. After going through homelessness and trauma, Atlas has finally found housing, and skateboarding has become a vital way for them to cope with stress, express themselves, and find joy in life. A good pair of skate shoes is really important for their safety and helps them fully enjoy this activity that keeps them grounded and hopeful. By helping Atlas get these shoes, you're supporting an essential part of their emotional well-being and resilience as they work on rebuilding their life.
